1. Let’s prepare the filling first. I prepared glutinous rice, minced meat, soaked shiitake mushrooms, ginger, and green onions.

2.1212 Soak the glutinous rice in advance and steam it in a steamer. (Put a special cloth in the steamer, take out the glutinous rice and put it on top, without water)

3.2121 While steaming the glutinous rice, prepare the ingredients. Cut the soaked mushrooms into small pieces, and chop the ginger and green onion into fine pieces.

4.1 Add minced meat and diced mushrooms, stir-fry until the minced meat changes color.

5.2 Heat a little oil in a pan and add chopped green onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.

6.12 Add the steamed glutinous rice and stir well, then add a little mushroom water used to soak the mushrooms, add pepper powder, light soy sauce, and chicken essence, stir well to make the filling.

7.21 Now start preparing the crystal dough, prepare water, lard, cornstarch and corn starch.

8. Mix the cornstarch and the starch together, boil the water, pour it into a bowl, stir with chopsticks while adding the water until it becomes a floc without powder, then cover with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes.

9. Knead into a ball.

10. Add lard.

11. Knead into a smooth and delicate dough.

12. Divide the dough into two equal portions and add 1 drop of edible green pigment to one portion. (You can also use vegetable juice or spinach juice to color it, but the effect will be worse)

13. Knead the two portions of dough into long strips of the same length and thickness, and use a kitchen knife to cut both portions at the same time into small portions of uniform size.

14.1Put the white dough in the middle of the green dough circle. (Pay attention to the size match)

15.2 Take a piece of green dough, roll it into a small strip in the palm of your hand, and then make it into a circle. Take a portion of white dough and knead it into a small courtyard shape.

16. Press it slightly flat with your hands first.

17. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into an even thickness. Don’t make it too thin as you will need to reshape it later.

18. Add appropriate amount of filling and press tightly with your hands. (If you are not skilled, it is recommended to knead the filling into a ball first and then put it on the dough, which is easier to operate)

19.Pinch the dough into the shape of a five-pointed star.

20. Start pinching from the bottom and move the dough upwards, making the five leaves of the five-pointed star bigger.

21. Hold the leaf with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and place any leaf on your ring finger. Use the back of a knife like the one on the chopping board in the picture to press out cabbage leaf patterns on the leaf. Press all five leaves in turn.

22. Take one of the leaves and pinch the bottom a little bit bigger.

23. Glue the pinched leaves towards you, then glue all five leaves in the same direction.

24. After pinching, hold it with your left hand, use the base of your right hand to shape it from the middle, and arrange the leaves. In this way, a cabbage embryo is ready.

25. Make all the “Jade Cabbages” one by one.

26. Place carrot slices in the steamer to prevent sticking, and place the prepared "Jade Cabbage" on top.

27. Put it into boiling water and steam it on medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes.
