10 Octpver 1911 - 2,000 YEARS OF IMPERIAL RULE BEGINS TO CRUMBLE IN
CHINA: The building of railways by foreign powers in China stokes
nationalistic fervor, and unfair financial gain for those same foreign
powers leads to violent protests. Today's Wuchang Uprising will start
the Xinhai Revolution, the overthrow of more than 2 millennia of i
mperial rule.
These are made exactly the same as "Eugenia Su-Brown's
Pork Filled Jautza," except for the filling.
FOR THE DOUGH: Place the flour and salt in a stainless-
steel bowl. Pour the 1 cup boiling water over the flour
and stir until it forms a dough. when the dough is cool
enough to handle, knead it until very smooth & elastic.
Shape into a log about 12" long. Cut the dough in half
and then in quarters. Cut each quarter in half and then
cut each of these pieces in 3 equal pieces. This will
produce 24 equal pieces. Cover with a cloth and then
plastic wrap to keep soft but dry.
FOR THE FILLING: Mince the chicken finely. Combine the
chicken, ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, rice
wine, sugar, Sichuan pepper and sesame oil.
Working one at a time, roll each piece of dough into a 2
1/2" circle. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the
center. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.
This is usually done by pleating one side onto the other,
forming a crescent. Shape on the counter so that the
bottom flattens. If your dough dries out too much, or
if you use additional flour for rolling the dough out,
you may need to use a little water to seal the edges
together.
You may steam-fry the dumplings as in the preceding pork
recipe, or you may place each dumpling on a small square
of parchment paper and then steam them in a bamboo
steamer. If using the steamer baskets, place 3 cups of
water and a copper penny in a wok. Place over medium
heat. When the water begins to boil, place the steamer
baskets over the water and cover with the lid. Twist a
wet tea towel and wedge it around the bottom of the
basket to keep in the steam. The copper penny will make
noise as long as there is enough water to boil. If it
stops making noise, add 3 additional cups of hot water,
poured over the towel. The dumplings will be finished
in 8 minutes.
Serve hot with a dipping sauce made of half soy sauce
and half vinegar with some minced green onion floating
in it.

... Not for troglodytes to whom a mall pretzel with mustard is radical.
