-
Use a small spoon to gently stir the egg skin to cover the minced meat
-
Use a small spoon to gently press the edge of the egg skin

The minced meat inside the egg dumplings is raw right after they are made, so they cannot be eaten. They need to be re-cooked, such as braised in braised sauce, cooked in soup, etc.
