Cooking Tips

1. Ensure the dough is kneaded until soft and smooth to produce fluffy steamed dumplings. 2. Adjust the filling ingredients based on personal preference. Add green onions as the final step when making the filling. 3. Adjust the size of the dough pieces as desired. 4. Always steam dumplings with cold water. If using hot water, a second rise is required.
