How to store various ingredients (gyoza wrappers)?
When making dumplings at home, you often encounter less stuffing and more dumpling wrappers, what to do if there are more dumpling wrappers, and it is a bit of a waste to throw them away.

In the case of commercially available dumpling wrappers, it is best to store them in the refrigerator before opening them, but once opened, put them in a zippered bag, squeeze out the air and seal them.
This will prevent it from becoming dry and crunchy, and it will also prevent it from becoming sticky. Attention should be paid to handmade dumpling wrappers as they tend to be greasy if not kept well compared to commercial dumpling wrappers. Squeeze out the air as much as possible from the belt as well as the product in the commercial bag.

Let's talk about the preservation methods used in life:

You can sprinkle more flour on the dumpling wrapper, so that it will not stick together, and then we put it in a dry and ventilated place, which can be stored for about 1 day.
Choose to wrap the dumpling wrappers in a bag, or sprinkle some flour before wrapping, and then put them in our refrigerator to keep them fresh, so that the dumpling wrappers can also be preserved, so that the preservation time is about 2~3 days.
Sprinkle some dry flour on the dumpling wrappers and put them in a plastic wrapper bag, or wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator for freezing, this method can make the dumpling wrappers not dry out and harden overnight. And it is preserved for a long time. (Note that you take it out two hours in advance when using it,)

Dumpling wrapper preservation cheats: let the delicious taste last longer

1. The importance of keeping dumpling wrappers fresh
 
As an important part of dumplings, the freshness of dumpling wrappers is directly related to the taste of dumplings. Fresh dumpling crusts are flexible in texture that coats the filling easily and does not break easily during cooking, allowing it to better lock in the deliciousness of the filling. If the dumpling wrapper is not stored properly, it becomes dry, hard or even cracked, which will not only affect the process of making dumplings, but also greatly reduce the taste of the cooked dumplings.
It is very necessary to secure fresh gyoza wrappers. First of all, fresh dumpling wrappers can make the dumplings more beautiful as a whole, with neat shapes and neat edges, reflecting the intention of the maker. Secondly, a good dumpling wrapper can be perfectly combined with the filling to add a rich taste to the dumplings. For example, dumplings with thin wrapper and full filling, the elasticity of the wrapper and the richness of the filling complement each other, giving people a sense of satisfaction. Moreover, it is easier to grasp the heat during the cooking process of the dumpling wrapper with good freshness, and when the wrapper is cooked until the dumpling wrapper is translucent, the filling is cooked thoroughly, and the dumpling does not break the dumpling wrapper and does not stick after being fished out, maintaining a complete appearance.
In conclusion, the preservation of the wrappers is essential for making delicious dumplings. Only by ensuring the freshness of the dumpling wrappers can we enjoy the delicious taste and beautiful shape of the dumplings.

2. Common preservation methods
 
(1) Refrigerated storage
Refrigerated preservation is one of the more common methods of preservation of dumpling wrappers. First, sprinkle some dry flour evenly on the dumpling wrappers, which will prevent the dumpling wrappers from sticking to each other. Then, gently shake the wrappers sprinkled with dry flour to allow the dry flour to spread out more evenly. Next, put the processed dumpling wrappers in a plastic bag, which does not need to be sealed very tightly. Finally, place the crisper bag with the dumpling wrappers in the refrigerated layer of the refrigerator. This method allows the dumpling wrappers to last for 3 - 5 days. When we want to eat dumplings, we can take out the dumpling wrappers from the refrigerator at any time and wrap them, which is very convenient.
(2) Cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is also a good option. First, pack the dumpling wrapper in a plastic bag, and in order to avoid the dumpling wrapper sticking to the dumpling wrapper, also sprinkle some dry flour on the dumpling wrapper. Then put the crisper bag containing the dumpling wrapper into the freezer layer of the refrigerator and freeze it. If you want to use frozen dumpling wrappers, you need to take them out and thaw them 2 hours in advance. During the defrosting process, the dumpling wrappers may become a little soft, which is normal. The defrosted dumpling wrappers should be used as soon as possible so that they do not become soft and brittle again.
(3) Other methods
In addition to refrigeration and freezing methods, there are a few other ways to preserve them. For example, you can wrap the dumpling wrappers in a semi-dry towel and put them in the refrigerator. A semi-dry towel can provide a certain amount of humidity and prevent the dumpling wrappers from drying out. Dumpling wrappers can also be packed into bags and then vacuumed for preservation. This keeps the air out and prolongs the shelf life of the dumpling wrappers. In addition, the method of adding kitchen paper to a crisper box is also effective. Put the leftover dumpling wrappers in a crisper box, then cover the dumpling wrappers with kitchen paper and put them in the refrigerator. This prevents the wrappers from losing moisture, and they will be the same as when they are taken out the next day.

3. Precautions when saving
 
When it comes to preserving dumpling wrappers, there are some important considerations to keep in mind.
First of all, avoid mixing the dumpling wrappers with the filling. Because the filling contains moisture, if it is placed together with the dumpling wrapper, it will cause the dumpling wrapper to become moist, affecting the texture and even sticking. According to statistics, the probability of wet adhesion of dumpling wrappers after mixing is as high as 70%.
Secondly, pay attention to temperature control. If the dumpling wrappers are stored at room temperature, bacteria can easily breed, and the dumpling wrappers may have problems such as odor and deterioration. Generally, the shelf life of dumpling wrappers at room temperature is only 1 - 2 days. Whereas, if the dumpling wrappers are stored in the refrigerator compartment, the temperature is usually around 0 - 4°C, which can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, and the shelf life of the dumpling wrappers can be extended to 3 - 5 days. However, it should be noted that the dumpling wrappers should not be kept in the refrigerator for too long, so as not to affect the texture of the dumpling wrappers.
For frozen dumpling wrappers, make sure that the freezer layer of the refrigerator is at the right temperature. If the temperature is too low, the dumpling wrapper will become too hardened, which will affect the use. Generally, the temperature of the frozen layer should be controlled at about -18°C.
When using dumpling wrappers, it is recommended to remove the dumpling wrappers from the refrigerator or freezer beforehand and allow them to return to room temperature before use. This will avoid the deformation of the dumpling wrapper and will also make it easier to make dumplings.
In short, only by paying attention to these precautions for preserving the dumpling wrappers can you ensure the freshness and deliciousness of the dumpling wrappers and lay a good foundation for making delicious dumplings.

4. Handling of special circumstances
 
During the preservation of dumpling wrappers, there may be special situations such as adhesion, and the following are some effective solutions.
(1) Treatment method of dumpling wrappers adhesion
If the refrigerated dumpling wrappers stick together, you can sprinkle a little dry flour on top of the dumpling wrappers, which can effectively absorb the moisture on the surface of the dumpling wrappers and make the dumpling wrappers separate. As a rule of thumb, sprinkling about 5 grams of dry flour on every 10 dumpling wrappers will give you a good result.
For frozen dumpling wrappers sticking together, it is recommended to first pack the dumpling wrappers in a bowl and then thaw them through warm water. The water temperature is about 30°C, and it should not be overheated. Stir the wrappers constantly during the thawing process to heat them evenly. When the dumpling wrappers gradually soften, they can be removed and used. If there is more moisture after thawing, you still need to sprinkle some dry flour to prevent the dumpling wrappers from sticking again.
If the dumpling wrappers stick together at room temperature, they can be gently torn apart and sprinkled with dry flour. If it is torn, you can re-roll the dough. In addition, if it is more laborious when tearing, a little cooking oil can be added between the two layers of dumpling wrapper to facilitate lubrication and separation.
(2) How to thaw dumpling wrappers
Natural thawing method: Place the frozen dumpling wrappers at room temperature and let them thaw naturally. This method is simple, but it takes a long time to thaw and is susceptible to ambient temperature and humidity. Generally at room temperature around 25°C, it may take 1-2 hours to thaw completely.
Warm water thawing method: Put the frozen dumpling wrappers into warm water at a temperature of about 30°C, and stir the dumpling wrappers constantly to heat them evenly. When the dumpling wrappers gradually soften, they can be removed and used. Compared with natural thawing, the warm water thawing method has a shorter thawing time and is less affected by the environment, usually in about 15-20 minutes.
Microwave defrosting method: Place the frozen dumpling wrappers in a microwave-safe container, select the defrosting mode, and set the time for about 3-5 minutes. Observe the thawing of the dumpling wrappers, if it is not completely thawed, the thawing time can be appropriately extended. However, care should be taken to control the time and heat when using it to avoid overheating, drying out or cracking the dumpling wrappers.
When dealing with the special situation of dumpling wrappers, care should be taken to avoid turning the dumpling wrappers frequently to avoid breakage. At the same time, the thawed dumpling wrappers should not be frozen again, so as not to affect the taste and quality.
