Recipe

Cooking tips

  • For a more transparent, bouncy texture resembling the animated version, increase the starch ratio in the dough and steam it—this will give a glossy, springy finish.
  • When making the soy sauce, always include star anise as a key ingredient to bring out the distinct, rich, and exotic umami flavor characteristic of Chinese cuisine.

Recommended for

  • Those who watched Spirited Away and always wanted to taste the mysterious food their father enjoyed.
  • Fans seeking an intense chewy, transparent dumpling experience similar to dim sum or tapioca-based dishes.
