The way to make Wuzhen green dough is to put wormwood, small acanthus grass, etc. into a big pot, add lime to steam them, float away the lime water, and mix them into glutinous rice flour to make a green dough. Pick the dough that weighs about 75g each, knead it into long strips, flatten them one by one, and wrap them with fillings such as bean paste, pinch and close the mouth, knead them into balls, and then make green dough. Place a damp cloth inside the cage, put in the green balls, steam for about 15 minutes until cooked, and then coat some sesame oil on the green balls
