Now I know how to knead dough. First, spread a layer of flour on the surface, then in a larger bowl use chopsticks to mix the flour and water together to form lumps that are somewhat dry in texture; these lumps are then poured onto the flour on the surface. Use chopsticks to continue stirring the flour in the bowl; you can add a little water to make the dough a bit thinner. Use chopsticks to pick up a small piece of dough and wipe the bowl clean with it. Then use the fingers of one hand to press the dough, while using the other hand to push the flour on the surface inward in circular motions; once it’s well kneaded, it doesn’t stick to the hands at all, which is great
