Harmonize into a smooth dough, put it in warm and moisten it, and ferment to double its size
5.
Potherb must be taken out of the water control and cut into pieces
6.

18.
Hold the leather with your left hand, pinch the folds counterclockwise with your right hand, and then move forward in sequence until it overlaps with the first fold.
19.
After wrapping all the buns, cover and wake up for 20-30 minutes for the second fermentation to 1.5 times the size (extend the fermentation time in winter)
20.
Make a pot with cold water, add cloth on the grate or brush with oil, put the buns in, leaving space between the buns. Boil water on medium heat, turn to high heat and steam for about 15-18 minutes, turn off the heat, and then open the lid after 2 minutes
Tips:
1. Don't uncover the steamed buns immediately. Uncover the cover after 2-3 minutes so that the buns will not collapse. \n2, don't squeeze the potherb mustard too dry after removing the salt, the stuffing that is too dry and adjusted will make the wood unpalatable. \n3. Fried potherb mustard with oil can remove some of the astringency that appears when pickling potherb mustard.
