    Mix the flour, then pour it into boiling water and stir quickly, simmer for a while, then add lard and knead until smooth. Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying and cracking. Put a carrot or something under the steamer so that the steamed shrimp dumplings can be easily taken out and will not be damaged. Do not steam for too long, just 5-7 minutes.
