Beijing meat dragon

Overview

Old Beijing Meat Dragon, also called Lazy Dragon, is one of Beijing’s traditional noodles. Why is it called Lazy Dragon? It is said that a lazy man thought it was troublesome to make steamed buns, so he just rolled out the dough, put the meat filling on top, rolled it up and steamed it, which saved a lot of time. Because it is stuffed with meat and shaped like a dragon, it is euphemistically called the meat dragon. This is your first time learning to make a meat dragon, just do it based on your feeling! I thought I could spread more meat filling, so I divided the dough into 2 parts. The amount of dough was too small and the dough was rolled out too thin! All finished products have no fluffy feel!
