Can you help me translate this recipe?
I would like to improve my Chinese by understanding the language of the kitchen. I wonder if someone can help me translate this simple recipe. If you have time to translate just one sentence it would be very helpful.
Step 1
Wash cabbage, cilantro and chives. Mince the green vegetables and garlic very finely. The peices should be no larger than ¼-inch. Divide the garlic into two equal portions. One portion will be used for the dumplings. One portion will go into the sauce.
Step 2
Select a knob of ginger ½-inch in length. Peel ginger by scraping the skin off with a spoon. Once the ginger is peeled, grate the ginger using a fine cheese grater or a dedicated ginger grater. Then set it aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, one tablespoon of sesame oil, cooking wine and both peppers. Stir contents in one direction to keep the meat fibers together. This will keep the dumplings from falling apart when you eat them.
Step 4
Once the spices and liquids have been incorporated, add in the vegetables, ginger and garlic to the meat. Again, stir in the same direction as before.
Step 5
Before filling the wrappers, test a small amount of the filling. To do so, heat a teaspoon of oil in a small sauté pan. Fry a teaspoon of the filling until it is cooked through, approximately three minutes. The filling should stick together in a ball.
Step 6
Taste the cooked filling. Adjust any of the flavors of the uncooked filling to your liking.
Step 7
Once you've tested the filling and adjusted the flavors, fill a small bowl filled with water and set it near your work space. Lay out one wrapper and wet the edges with the water.
Step 8
Take the dumpling wrapper in your other hand and put a small spoonful, approximately 2 tbsp., in the center of the wrapper. Stuff one of the special items into the middle of the filling. The special items are a 5 yen coin, a small lump of brown sugar candy, a roasted chestnut and a roasted peatnut.
Step 9
Fold the wrapper in half so it resembles a half circle. Pinch the two places where the wrapper is folded over. This is the bottom of the half circle.
Step 10
Then, working from one end, gather a small fold on one side of the wrapper. Pinch the fold onto the unfolded side of the wrapper. Keep folding and pinching until the dumpling is sealed. Continue to make dumplings until you use all of the filling.
Step 11
In a 12-inch sauté pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Gently lay your dumplings in the bottom of the pan. Fry them for approximately five minutes, until the bottom of the dumplings start to brown. Using a pair of kitchen tongs or a fork, turn the dumplings over to an unbrowned side and cook until the dumplings are browned evenly on all sides.
Step 12
Splash one tablespoon of water into the pan and quickly cover the pan. Let the dumplings steam in the evaporating water for another minute longer.
Step 13
To make the sauce, combine the light soy sauce, the rest of the sesame oil, vinegar, garlic and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk the sauce vigorously with a whisk or a fork until all the ingredients are completely blended.
Step 14
Serve and enjoy.
