Steps[]
- Put the Strong and Weak Flour into a bowl and slowly add the Water (mixed with the Salt) while stirring thoroughly with chopsticks. Once it starts to clump, mix it with your hands and roll it up into a ball. Dust a surface with flour and press out the dough, then fold it over. Do this about 100 times and then put it in a plastic bag for 30 minutes.
- Mince A and mix each ingredient with 1/3 tsp Salt, then let sit. Squeeze with a cloth and then strain. Mince B, too.
- Put the Pork in a bowl and add C. Stir thoroughly. Combine with step 2 and add the sesame oil. Once it's all mixed together, let it sit in the fridge for a while.
- Take the dough from step 1 and split it into 2 parts, then roll each into a log. Cut each log into 12 parts and then dust the cut surfaces with Flour. Take a slice out and flatten it with your hand, then roll it out with a rolling pin into a 7-8cm diameter circle.
- Put the filling on the skin and dab water around the edges. Make little ridges as you close up the skin.
