    1) After blending the vegetable juice, add a little oil, and also add some oil when kneading the dough to reduce the oxidation of the vegetables. 2) Adjust the thickness of the dough wrappers to your liking; I make mine slightly thinner. 3) After turning off the heat, let it sit covered for 3-5 minutes before opening the lid; this makes the skins plumper and prevents shrinking.
