Directions
- 01
Organize the ingredients
Weigh every ingredient before starting and set out the required tools. Respect the temperatures stated in the ingredient list because they control hydration, elasticity, and fat incorporation.
Texture cue: ingredients weighed, tools ready, and temperatures checked - 02
Check moisture
Squeeze the starch; if it will not form a loose clump, mist in water gradually. Work gradually and pause if the dough resists or becomes too warm. Before moving on, compare its texture, elasticity, and moisture with the visual cue for this stage.
Texture cue: an even, stable dough with the structure required by the technique - 03
Sift
Pass through a sieve and mix in salt. Complete the process at the stated time and temperature while checking color, firmness, and internal moisture. Let it cool or stabilize as directed before cutting, filling, or storing.

Cook
Scatter a 3–4 mm layer in a medium-hot pan without pressing; turn briefly once joined. Complete the process at the stated time and temperature while checking color, firmness, and internal moisture. Let it cool or stabilize as directed before cutting, filling, or storing.
