Over time, this practice spread and gradually evolved into today's foreskin noodles.

The dough of buns is made from high-gluten flour and water. After being rolled into thin slices, it is wrapped with fillings such as pork, mutton or seasonal vegetables, and then shaped into small and cute buns with your hands.
