Then knead it by hand to form a "3-light dough";
7.
Put the dough in a basin, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and leave to ferment in a warm place;
8.
Fermented to twice the size of the original volume, poke holes with fingers with dry powder, without shrinking or sinking, fermentation is complete;
9.
Sprinkle some dry powder (outside the serving size) on the chopping board and re-knead it into a smooth dough, the hardness of which is basically the same as before fermentation;
10.
Knead the dough into strips;
11.

Tips:
1. Personally, I prefer to dissolve the yeast powder with clean water first, so that the yeast powder can be distributed more evenly;
2. After the fermentation is over, make sure to knead the dough smoothly again to expel the bubbles in the dough. An appropriate amount of dry flour can be added during the process. In this way, the surface of the steamed cake is smooth. I knead for about 5 minutes;
3. During the operation, if you feel sticky, you can sprinkle a little dry powder to prevent sticking;
4. The size of the small noodles is up to your liking, 50g each is not too small for me. If the cake folder is made small, save a few minutes of steaming later;
5. After the cake base is ready, let it stand for 20 minutes, so that the steamed cake folder will be softer. Therefore, the carved marks should be slightly deeper to prevent the marks from disappearing after fermentation;
6. After steaming, do not open the lid of the pot immediately. After a few minutes of steaming, slowly uncover the lid to keep the surface of the cake holder smooth.
