Put a piece of plastic wrap on the chopping board, put the mixed fillings on the plastic wrap, and press it into a round cake shape with your hands
19.
Cover the filling with a layer of plastic wrap, and use a rolling pin to press hard on the filling (be careful not to roll the filling back and forth like a dough crust, rolling will loosen the filling, and you need to move the rolling pin to press)
20.
Until the filling is rolled into a pancake shape with a thickness of about 1 cm

34.
Repeat the above actions five or six times until the filling is wrapped in glutinous rice flour and rolled into a spherical shape (if the glutinous rice flour is not enough when rolling the Lantern Festival, it should be refilled in time to prevent the fillings from sticking to each other during the rolling process, and the intensity of the rolling Lantern Festival. To be even, so that the Lantern Festival is easier to be rolled into a round ball, and the thickness of the dough is the same)
