Instructions

Crystal wrapper and pleat(42 min)

Mix wheat starch and tapioca with BOILING water, stir until dough forms. Knead with oil until smooth. Roll into thin circles. Mix shrimp, bamboo shoots, pork fat, and seasoning. Place filling in center, pleat into 7-9 folds, sealing at the top. Steam 6 min until wrappers become translucent.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

The boiling water is non-negotiable — lukewarm water won't gelatinize the wheat starch, and the wrappers will crack.
