7. Now, get back to the dough we prepare from the very first step.

Make a ball from the dough. Tuck any stuffing you like and roll it back to the ball shape. Use your two hands squeeze it a little bit to make it flat. Make sure you don’t see the stuff coming out. 

8. Dress vegetable oil on steaming pot. Place the balls in it and steam for 20 minutes. After that, remove from the pot and put fried garlic on top. Dress some oil from fried garlic on them too, so each piece won’t stick to each other.

Stuffing can be varying upon your imagination. You may add boiled taro or potato then add some pepper and salt. Shrimps and tofu are your choices but not the whole fish with its head and Pla Rah from my previous recipe. haha

It won’t taste good together.
