    1. After fermentation, try to rub away the gas in the dough, so that the surface of the steamed bread is smoother. 2. All the joints should be smeared with clean water during modeling, so that they will not deform during steaming. 3. It does not take too long to steam the fence and grass, because the dough is relatively thin and can be cooked in ten minutes. If it is steamed for too long, the green color of matcha may not be so bright.
