Pour in boiling water, mix well, close the lid, and simmer for 2 minutes
12.
Then add the same amount (100g) of corn starch and knead it into a dough
13.
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll it into a dough (because the dough is made of starch and does not contain protein, it has poor gluten properties. When rolling, it is best to roll the dough pin along the edge, or use a knife to press it into the dough. Authentic shaomai, the edges of the noodles are in the shape of a lotus leaf, I made it for the first time, and it didn’t roll well)

Add right amount of stuffing to the dough
15.
Tuck a waist with a tiger's mouth

Tips:
1. Soak glutinous rice overnight in advance

3. Spray water on the shaomai before steaming to prevent the edges from becoming dry and hard, so that the steamed shaomai skin will be more transparent and Q
