Plum Blossom Dumplings

　　Plum Blossom Dumplings, a steamed dim sum. Features: shaped like plum blossoms, visually appealing, savory and refreshing. Cooking method: steaming.

　　Use boiling water to scald wheat starch flour into a dough skin. Finely chop and cook half-fat pork, mix it with finely diced magnolia vegetable, and season to make the filling.

　　Wrap the filling with the dough skin, pinch the edges with your fingers to form five petals resembling a plum blossom, and alternate egg yolk powder and cooked ham powder on the petals and stamens, then steam in a basket until cooked and serve on a plate.

　　Key tips: ensure the dough is properly scalded; make the petals uniform; avoid over-steaming to prevent deformation.
