Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Mix wheat starch + tapioca starch (which is the flour used to make taro balls, purchased online, very cheap and has many uses, Rong Bao will write a post slowly) + salt and stir evenly.

   

2. 2 Boil the water (must be boiled freshly, hot water from the water dispenser will not work), pour in the flour, stir quickly to form a dough, then knead it into a smooth ball with your hands, be careful of scalding your hands, add oil, lard or vegetable oil will do, and knead it into a non-sticky skin. Be careful to prevent it from drying out when ready, and it is best to cover it with plastic wrap.

   

3. 3 Prepare stuffing. There are only shrimps here, whole shrimps. Shrimp glue is not used, so there is no need to add lard. If you want to have a tea restaurant flavor, add some sesame oil and cooked bamboo shoots. The other seasonings are the general seasonings for pickling shrimps. Each family has its own method, so I won’t go into details.

   

4. 4 Prepare a paper towel (be careful to use kitchen paper, I will use ordinary paper towels here), a large knife, and a clean mat (preferably anti-stick, if not, you can apply some oil). Dip the paper towel in oil, wipe the knife surface to prevent it from sticking, then use a dough agent to flatten it, press the knife to compact it, and it will be a leather.

   

5. 5 You can press it twice more to see if it becomes thicker or thinner and adjust it until the thickness is about 1mm. Generally, it is very convenient to press two pieces of leather on the blade and brush it with oil.
