After the light bowl is ordered, it becomes a "dish". Steam the lamp bowl in the pot. You don't have to taste it. Its smell will make your mouth water. Break off a small piece and put it in your mouth. The smell of peanut oil and the fresh smell of bean noodles are much more delicious than the biscuits of city people. However, adults will not let children eat as much as steamed bread, but cut the lamp bowl into strips, hang it outdoors, dry it and pack it for collection, and then cook it when the children are greedy.

Steaming the lamp bowl can't be "empty steamed", that is, the lamp bowl can't be steamed in the pot. Generally speaking, people should wrap some steamed buns and steam them in bowls.
