Let\'s make some Shao Mai (做焼麦)

Shao Mai is original from Northeast of China. It is a big noodle stuffed with ground lamb. Unlike dumplings which are boiled in the hot water, or pot stickers which are pan fried, Shao Mai has different shape and is steamed in the steamer.

每次回家的时侯，马家烧麦都是必去的地方。现在人隔千里，只好自己动手来解谗了。家里有GRASS FED羊肉，取出大约２磅，自己绞了羊肉馅。在菜园里摘了５，６棵葱，很快做好了馅。和好了４杯面。开做。。。。。








还真的很好吃呵，不信，你也试试。。。。。。

We usually eat them with some vinegar or a little soy sauce. Of course a little spicy hot sauce will spicy them up for us. But they are just delicious by themselves.
在马家烧麦，烧麦通常就醋，酱油，辣椒和大蒜末。在家里，大蒜就免了。不过拌个黄瓜很配的来。
