The impossibly handsome young man smiled faintly and spoke in an even tone:
"Mix 100 grams of Cheng Mian with 50 grams of starch. Scald the mixture with 200 grams of boiling water until cooked, then add another 50 grams of starch and knead until smooth."
A qualified Cheng Mian wrapper could only be 0.2 millimeters thick. This miraculous ingredient came from the white starchy water discarded during gluten production. After all protein was removed and wheat flour was finely separated, only the settled and dried powder remained. This completely gluten-free wheat starch was called Cheng Mian.
Zeng Quanyou frowned slightly. The key to the quality of Crystal Shrimp Dumpling wrappers lay in the ratio of ingredients.
But when he heard the ratio Lu Qin gave, he was stunned.
It was exactly the same as his own!
Then why was there such a huge difference in the texture of the wrappers?
And how had Lu Qin made his wrappers so thin?
Thin, yet unbroken?
A large part of why his Crystal Shrimp Dumplings were inferior to the other man's lay in the texture of the Cheng Mian wrappers.
Seeing Zeng Quanyou's confusion, Lu Qin said, "Based on Cheng Mian's properties, heating it over water is the key. You have to stir it quickly with boiling water. As the amylose gelatinizes under heat, the dough will become softer, whiter, and extremely sticky."

He had truly taken another step forward despite already standing at the top!
"I have learned much."
Zeng Quanyou gave Lu Qin a grateful look. Sunlight fell upon the young man, casting a golden halo around him.
For Lu Qin to so
