With a history of more than 1,800 years, mplings are a classic Chinese food, and a traditional dish eaten on Chinese New Year's Eve, widely popular in China, especially in North China.
Chinese mplings can be made to look like Chinese silver ingots (which are not bars, but boat-shaped, oval, and turned up at the two ends). Legend has it that the more mplings you eat ring the New Year celebrations, the more money you can make in the New Year.
Dumplings generally consist ofminced meat and finely-chopped vegetables wrapped in a thin and elastic dough skin. Popular fillings are minced pork, diced shrimp, fish, ground chicken, beef, and vegetables. They can be cooked by boiling, steaming, frying or baking.
Almost all Chinese people can make mplings. First they mix the dough, second make the dough into round "wrappers" with a rolling pin, third fill the wrappers with stuffing, fourth pinch the "wrapper" together into the desired shape, and fifth cook them. Different mpling fillings have different meanings.
Chinese don't eat Chinese sauerkraut mplings at Spring Festival, because it implies a poor and difficult future. On New Year's Eve it is a tradition to eat mplings with cabbage and radish, implying that one's skin will become fair and one's mood will become gentle.
When making mplings there should be a good number of pleats. If you make the junction too flat, it is thought to purport poverty. Some Chinese put a white threadinside a mpling, and the one who eats that mpling is supposed to possess longevity. Sometimes a copper coin is put in a mpling, and the one who eats it is supposed to become wealthy. Dumplings should be arranged in lines instead of circles, because circles of mplings are supposed to mean one's life will go round in circles, never going anywhere.
