Lotus leaf cake
Overview
I didn’t want to work hard to knead the dough to steam the steamed buns, so I used a simple and trouble-free method. Roll out a few dough pieces like making steamed buns, fold them in half, and use chopsticks to press a few strips to make lotus leaf-shaped steamed buns. You can put vegetables or meat in the middle and eat them, both are delicious

It's roughly like this, fan-shaped. A bit ugly

It’s done, it looks like a lotus leaf

Add an appropriate amount of cold water to the steamer and put it into the basket. Brush the basket with some oil. Put in the prepared lotus leaf cake embryo and close the lid.
