  • 1.   Put the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl. With 4 fingers, mix the dough until the flour is fully incorporated.
  • 2.   Add the oil and knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth. Then form a ball.
  • 3.   Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest in a turned-off oven for 40 minutes to 1 hour. (The dough should double in size).
  • 4.   Slice onions, carrots, and bamboo. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onion with minced garlic and chopped ginger.
  • 5.   Add the ground meat, carrots, bamboo, and bean sprouts and sauté everything.
  • 6.   Add sake, soy sauce, and water.

  • 11.   Make the first fold by pinching the rightmost part of the dough between your index finger and thumb.
  • 12.   Fold the upper part of the dough with your left index finger to form a second fold on top of the first one, and pinch the dough.
