1. Prepare ingredients. Ordinary flour: 500g, yeast: 4g, aluminum-free baking powder: 1g
2. Prepare ingredients. Red yeast rice: appropriate amount; cocoa powder: appropriate amount; food coloring: appropriate amount
3. Press the red yeast rice into a powder, add water to boil, filter out the residue with gauze, leave the red yeast rice water, and leave it to warm for later use. You can also buy ready-made red yeast rice noodles for direct mixing. I think the red yeast rice water made by myself is more at ease.
4. Mix the yeast and baking powder into the flour and mix well. The three-color doughs of primary color, coffee color and pink are produced respectively. The primary color and coffee color dough are basically the same size, and the pink color is slightly smaller. Put the three-color dough in different containers and cover with moist cloth, and ferment separately in warm places.
5. Start making the dough when it rises to 1.5 to 2 times its original size. Take an appropriate amount of coffee-colored dough, roll out a rectangular dough sheet, the thickness is moderate.
6. Take the same amount of raw color dough and roll it into a raw color dough sheet of the same size as the coffee color dough sheet.
7. Put the two pieces of dough together, the coffee color is on the bottom, and the primary color is on the top.
8. Roll the two-color dough sheet into a roll, and try to roll it tightly without slack.
9. Cut the rolls into snail shells according to the size of your preference.
10. Take small white and pink doughs to make snail necks. The size should correspond to the size of the snail shell.
11. Knead the two-color noodles together to create a moisturizing effect.
12. Rub into a long strip and pinch out the tentacles of a snail at one end.
13. Flatten the other end of the snail’s neck and place the snail shell on it. Mung beans can be used to make snail eyes. The first style of snail is ready.
14. Next, let's make another style of snail. Press the spiral pattern of the agent cut in step 9 upwards.
15. Roll the dough into a thick sheet in the middle and thin sheets around it. Wrap a piece of dough in the middle. Wrap it like a bun. You can also wrap your favorite fillings in the middle, such as red bean paste.
16. Use step 12 to make the neck of the snail, place it under the snail shell, and use mung beans as the eyes. Another style of snail is also ready.
17. After all the snails are prepared, a second fermentation is carried out. Observe that the volume becomes large and the surface of the dough is fluffy and rises. Steam it on the pot and cook it in 15 minutes after SAIC. The steaming time should be increased or decreased according to the size of the pasta.

I took a snail for a walk. The snail is trying its best to crawl, but it always moves a little bit every time.
I urged it, blamed it, and the snail looked at me with aggrieved eyes, as if to say: People have done their best! The snail was sweating, panting, and moving forward...
19.
Ok! I let go of my hand and let the snail crawl forward.
Suddenly, I smelled the fragrance of flowers, and there was a garden here.
A gust of wind blows, the wind here is so gentle.
I heard birds crowing, insects crowing again...

I saw a beautiful scenery that I had never discovered before. Why didn't I have such an experience before?
It turned out that we missed a lot of scenery around us in a hurry.
Life can be slower, and then slower, maybe it will be more beautiful. Take a snail for a walk~
Tips:1. If the snail made is relatively small, you can use a pigmented pen to draw the eyes.
2. The noodles should be a little harder to make it easier to shape.
3. Don't throw away the residue from the red yeast rice water. You can wrap it in gauze stewed meat, eggs, etc. The color of the stewed food is bright red and more nutritious.
4. After turning off the fire, let it cool for 3-5 minutes and then lift the lid to prevent the finished product from collapsing due to rapid cooling.
