The first time I made this stuffing, Susan strongly requested to add more shrimp. It was estimated that there were about 10 shrimps, 200g of chives, and 2 eggs.


200g of flour + 120g of half-scalding with water, after waking up for a long time and rubbing with oil, it still feels better than flour hahaha, the extensibility is really super, and it will not break at all, I will definitely use this ratio in the future!


The first one is the best, with the most stuffing. Later, I was afraid that it would be broken and not enough (in fact, it was not broken at all), so I put a little less. Press the first one next time.


When adjusting the stuffing, I added five-spice powder, white pepper powder, soy sauce, and sesame oil, but it still feels light, so I can put a little more next time. It doesn't feel crispy enough since I put less oil this time.
