    No need to add water or knead the dough. This step doesn't require kneading like you would when making bread. Just mix it evenly. It will be quite sticky, so it's best to use a hand bag. After mixing, coat the dough with some oil, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it to prevent it from hardening.

    Divide the dough, purple sweet potato, and cheese into several equal portions. Wrap the cheese with the purple sweet potato for easier cheese stretching. Roll the dough as thin as possible, and after wrapping the purple sweet potato, flatten it into a cube. If you're skilled, flatten it as much as possible for easier frying later.

    You can add oil to a frying pan or not, and fry over low heat until golden brown. Adding a small amount of oil will make it more fragrant, while not adding oil will halve the calories. If it's wrapped with cheese, be sure to fry it longer.
