12.
Boil hot water, put My Neighbor Totoro in a spoon, cook for three to five minutes and remove it. The specific time should be increased or decreased according to the thickness and overall size of the skin
Tips:
The gray part of the Totoro's body becomes darker after being cooked. The black sesame powder can be put in a small amount; if the amount of water is right, the dough is easy to shape, so I did not add lard; when cooking, use a slow fire, because the black sesame filling is cooked, as long as the skin is cooked.
