  2.Put all ingredients except butter into a container.

  3. Stir evenly with chopsticks.

  4. Place it on the chopping board and start kneading the dough by hand to form a dough.It will be very sticky at this time.(It doesn’t matter, this is the process of dough getting glutened) You can mix it together with a scraper.

• 

  5. While kneading, throwing and pulling, the dough will gradually become less sticky.Knead for about ten minutes.Five minutes (novices may knead for a while longer), as shown in the picture below, the film has emerged and slowly opened but is still very fragile.

  6.At this time, add the softened butter and continue kneading.

  10. Fermentation is about 2~2.5 times the size (fermentation takes one and a half hours), press it with your hands It’s ok if it doesn’t shrink, then deflate the noodles, divide it into three equal parts and let it rest for 20 minutes (I forgot to take a photo of this piece)

• 11. Roll the risen dough into a cake and put a layer of bean paste filling on it.

• 

  12. Then roll up the bean paste, cut the remaining part into strips with a knife, and wrap them in sequence past.
