Thanks to her efficiency, the dumpling wrappers were ready in no time.
Next came the highly anticipated part: wrapping the dumplings.
Everyone was curious about how the wrapping was done. Do you just roll it into a ball? Or use something to hold it together?
Then, Jiang Qiuqiu showed everyone with her actions that it was neither of those things. She placed a round dumpling wrapper in her palm, used a special small spoon to scoop up a dollop of filling into the center, cupped her hand to bring the edges together, and with a pinch in the middle, she then pleated the left side, followed by the right.
"Remember to pinch all the pleats tightly when you seal it. Make sure none of the filling can leak out, or else you'll end up with a soup of meat patties and wrappers."
As she spoke, the first dumpling was already perfectly formed.
