Cooked Wheat Flour

Put wheat flour in a small bowl. Pour in boiling water and mix evenly. Cover the bowl for 4-5 minutes. Remove the lid or cover and knead until dough is smooth and even. Use it as cooked dough.

 

Preparing the dumpling

Combine glutinous rice flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Make a well and pour in water to mix. Add cooked wheat dough and knead well. Stir in shortening and add wheat flour. Slowly work and knead the mixtures until a dough is formed. 

 

Roll out dough into a long sausage. Cut into even portions and roll each into a small ball. Dust tabletop with a little tapioca flour. Flatten each piece of dough into a thin disc.

 

Fill with a tablespoon of prepared filling. Shape into a half moon and press to seal the edge.
