Directions

  1. Prepare the filling: dice the cucumber, heat a pan over low heat, and separately toast the coconut flakes and sesame seeds until golden brown, then set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the pork oil paint, salt, and cucumber seeds. ≈ 4 min
  3. Add the sifted, sticky rice flour, then mix thoroughly. ≈ 4 min
  4. If you prefer a softer texture, add water to adjust the consistency. ≈ 3 min
  5. Once the filling is ready, you can store it in the refrigerator.
  6. Mix the ingredients (water, oil paint, and flour) together and knead until a smooth dough forms. ≈ 10 min
  7. Mix the ingredients for the frying batter.
  8. Let both types of pasta rest for about 20 minutes each.
  9. The dough for water-based pasta and the dough for fat-based pasta should be divided into small balls (approximately 10 grams each). ≈ 10 min
  10. The pasta dough needs to be slightly flattened to properly encase the fat-based pasta. ≈ 3 min
  11. Spread the dough out to form a long strip, roll it up, and then spread it out again 3 times before shaping it into a circular form. ≈ 10 min
  12. Fill with the filling, brush with egg yolk, make two slits, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. ≈ 10 min
  13. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the surface to see if it is rising.
  14. If it starts to rise slightly, turn the dish over and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
