brief introduction

Skin-making is to mix a certain amount of gypsum and dressing into wheat flour, use warm water to make a hard dough, knead it several times, and then put it into cold water to wash it continuously to wash out starch. When the dough becomes honeycomb, it is steamed in a steamer, which is called "gluten", and then the precipitated starch paste is steamed in a steamer, which is called "steamed skin". Steamed stuffed skin is peeled off from the plate, cut into long strips, served with gluten, and poured with seasonings such as vinegar, spicy oil, mustard, leek and garlic paste. It tastes spicy, flexible and delicate, and has a long aftertaste.
