This article continues the fancy steamed dumpling series. The initial technique of plum steamed dumplings is the same as that of the peony flower in the previous part. It is to wrap the dough into a five-pointed star shape, and then pinch a petal with the adjacent petal to form a round petal. After doing so, it looks like a small plum blossom, hence the name. This article uses dragon fruit peel dough as a demonstration. Pitaya peel is rich in anthocyanins, which can effectively remove free radicals in the body, detoxify and prevent cancer. One thing to note is that the color of the dough kneaded from the pitaya peel is bright, but it fades and turns yellow after being steamed. So no pink steamed dumplings can be seen in the finished picture.
