- Use a large ladle to pour the batter onto a stretched cloth placed above a large container filled with boiling water.
- Next, use a ladle to spread a thin layer of dough in a circular shape (to form the pancake), and this should be done accurately and quickly, in just a few seconds (you can also sprinkle with coconut). ≈ 4 min
- Once cooked, use a bamboo skewer or tube to lift the flatbread, then place it on a bamboo rack before drying it in the sun.
- The thickness of the dough is determined based on how it will be used. ≈ 3 min
- For cooking, it should be the thickest, for moist rolls, a medium thickness, and for fresh pork rolls (nem), it should be very thin, almost like paper. ≈ 3 min
