It is Christina's birthday today and I am going to make some guotie 鍋貼 and bring to her place and share these with her.
I am also going to sing a happy birthday song for her in Chinese [Mandarin] as well.
祝妳生日快樂
祝妳生日快樂
祝妳生日快樂
祝妳幸福祝妳健康
祝妳前途光明。
祝妳生日快樂
祝妳生日快樂
祝妳幸福祝妳健康
祝妳溫暖家庭。
I have posted my old guotie recipe in November 2014 and since then I have improved my way of making guotie. So what are the changes.
The filling, which we call xian'r 餡兒 or just xian 餡, has been improved. I use coriander leaves, spring onions and ginger, plus very lean pork mince and the seasonings remain the same.
As for the wrapper, which we call skin in Chinese or said as pi 皮, I roll this very thinly - and we say pi2 bao2 皮薄 [thin wrapper] bao1 dao4 bao3bao3 包到飽飽 [fill with lots of filling] - well if you do not get the tones right, nobody would understand you.
