  • Crystal shrimp dumplings Make Tips

    (1) Pay attention to the water used to iron the noodles must be boiled and hot enough. (2) Because Chengfen does not have tenacity, you must handle it gently when making dumplings and taking dumplings after steaming to avoid tearing. (3) The cage cloth must be wet with water, and the water must not be wrung out. (4) Dumpling skins should also be freshly wrapped with existing rods, as many rods as you use. Otherwise, it will be easy to dry and crack when placed outside. (5) Don't put too much stuffing when wrapping. Because the flour has little tenacity, it will easily burst if you put too much stuffing.
