- Roll it into a ball shape, then place it on your palm and flatten it into a small circle with approx: 4-5 mm thickness and 5-8 cm diameter.
- Now place a spoonful of filling in the center.
- Bring all the corners of the flattened dough together to cover the filling and reshape it into a ball. Make sure that it is completely sealed, otherwise it will open while steaming.
- Repeat the process with the rest of the dough and filling.
- Steam cook for about 15-20 minutes or until done. Allow to cool slightly and then enjoy.
Notes:
