    The purchased dumpling wrappers should be rolled thinner, with the edges thinner than the center, roughly rolled to twice their original size. Place an appropriate amount of filling inside, pinch the edges to seal, and lay them face down in the steamer tray.

    Freshly steamed and out of the oven, the crystal bun has grown a bit larger, with beautiful wrinkles appearing on the surface. Through the bun's skin, the color of the filling can be vaguely seen, translucent and shiny, beautiful and tempting.
