Knead the dough with your hands into a smooth dough and let it rest for 30 minutes, kneading the dough again in the middle.

Add dried shrimps and vegetable oil to cucumber shreds after squeezing out the water, and mix well. I like a light taste, so I don’t add chicken essence. Besides, the shrimp skin is also very delicious.

Use a dumpling stick to roll the dough into a small round piece, try to roll it out as thin as possible, and wait until it is steamed to have a nice color.
