Wenzhou Biscuits

Ingredients

• First, sauté the fermented vegetables (such as fermented soybeans) until they are slightly softened. (The step of cooking the fermented vegetables can be omitted: cooking the fermented vegetables makes them more flavorful, and adding fermented vegetables to the dough helps to enhance their taste)
• Once the mixture is prepared, take a small portion and heat it in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
• During cooking, it is important to stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
• If a small amount of soot is present, it can be carefully removed with a knife.
• Next, we mix the dough, shape it, and roll it out with a rolling pin. We then bake it in a pan over low heat, turning it constantly, until the dough rises. For a simple method, we roll the dough into a circular shape and then fill it. The traditional method involves forming a “U” shape with the dough, leaving a space in the center where the filling is placed, and then closing the dough. Beginners can easily make a dough with a small amount of filling and a thick crust.

Reheat the dried soybeans or fermented vegetables until they are partially cooked (the cooking step for the soybeans can be skipped: cooking the soybeans makes them more flavorful, and adding soybeans to the dough helps to enhance their taste).
