How is the Chaoshan snack "Xiaomi" made?

Shomi

Ingredients: flour, eggs, red meat, white meat, fresh shrimp and bamboo shoots.

Ingredients: salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper, soy sauce, sugar.

How to make it: Chaozhou millet has fine skin. Add flour and eggs, knead into dough repeatedly, let stand slightly to loosen the tendons, knead into thin strips, and then cut into small particles. The chopping board is made of raw flour, and it is pressed into a disk with a diameter of about 5 cm with a special millet stick (made of wood and passed through by a small stick). The pi of honey requires a little thicker in the middle and thinner around, and the shape of chrysanthemum is irregular. Chaozhou millet is filled with red meat, white meat, fresh shrimp and bamboo shoots, cut into small pieces, added with refined salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper, soy sauce and sugar, and then added with a small amount of lard, and stirred evenly. Wrap the stuffing into a small cylinder with a height of about 3 cm and a diameter of about 2 cm, and steam it in a steamer for 5 minutes. When eating millet, use Zhejiang vinegar to make pickles.

Famous sentence: Xiaomi, as a traditional Chaozhou cuisine snack, was often used as a table snack at Chaozhou cuisine banquets in the past. Millet in Chaozhou originated from "steamed dumplings" in the north. In the north of China, there was a snack with meat as stuffing and flour as skin. Most of these snacks are sold by street vendors. Because of the cold weather in the north, these vendors have to put this snack in a small cage and make a fire to keep warm, so this snack is called "steamed dumplings". Later, the snack "steamed dumplings" was transplanted to the south, and some places called it by pronunciation, so many different names with similar pronunciations appeared, such as "Shaomi", "Xiaomi" and "Xiaomi", but they were all snacks derived from "steamed dumplings". Chaozhou Xiaomi and Guangzhou Xiaomi are slightly different in stuffing making. Guangzhou millet stuffing is all meat, Chaozhou millet stuffing needs to add some fresh bamboo shoots, which is not so greasy and tastes better. In the past, due to the low living standard, the raw materials of Chaozhou millet stuffing were relatively rough, so in order to add flavor to the rough stuffing, fried [fish king] (iron) breast powder was often added to the stuffing. At present, the raw materials of Chaozhou millet stuffing are of good quality, and few people add minced fish.
