Make Dumplings
   Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food. On the lunar New Year' s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them, follow this easy process.
   The first step is to mix the flour with water. When the dough is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook. When the wrappers are done, it' s time to prepare the filling. Usually, we use meat such as beef or mutton, and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for filling. You may actually choose whatever you like to put into it. We must chop those things into small pieces. Then put some salt, oil and other condiments into it and stir it evenly. When all these preparations are done, we can start making dumplings. First put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper. Then stick the two opposite sides together and then the rest. Don' t just cover the filling with the wrappers. The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship, because when they are boiling in the pan, they look like ships sailing in the sea. The smell can make your mouth water.
餃子
   餃子是一種傳統(tǒng)的中國(guó)食品。在農(nóng)歷新年，大多數(shù)家庭都會(huì)包很多美味的餃子。要包餃子，請(qǐng)按照下列簡(jiǎn)單的程序。
   第一步是用水和面。和好面之后，我們可以開(kāi)始搟皮。用一根搟面杖把面團(tuán)搟成又薄又小的圓形面皮，這樣好煮。皮搟好之后，就該準(zhǔn)備餡了。通常我們用肉(比如牛肉和羊肉)還有蔬菜(比如白菜和胡蘿卜)作餡。你也可以用你喜歡的東西做餡。我們必須把這些東西切碎，放上一些鹽，油和其他調(diào)料，然后均勻攪拌。當(dāng)所有這些都弄妥后，我們就可以包餃子了。首先放一勺餡在餃子皮的中央，把兩邊牢牢粘住，然后把剩余的包好。不能只用皮裹住餡。餃子最好的形狀是船型的，因?yàn)楫?dāng)它們?cè)阱伬镏蟮臅r(shí)候，看起來(lái)就像是大海里的船只。它們的香味會(huì)讓你口水直流的。
