🔥 Tips
- Keep filling finely chopped so it cooks evenly
- You can add cooked shrimp, minced pork, or tofu for extra protein
- Use a lid on the pan for a minute if the filling needs extra steaming
If you want, I can also give you a faster 15-minute version that skips resting the dough but still tastes amazing.
