  6. Weigh 300 grams of water-milled flour, add 280 ml of warm water to knead the dough, and then use 100 grams of the dough to make 2 small balls. After they are cooked in a pot, mix them with the large dough. At this time, the dough will be sticky and the filling will not crack easily. If the dough is sticky, dip it in some oil.
