- 3 Pound the hot dough in a mortar for 10 minutes until it becomes very elastic and glossy; this is what distinguishes it from regular steamed cakes.
- 4 Divide the flour into portions, and mix one portion with green tea powder to create two colors.
- 5 Roll the dough into a stick, press it through a patterned wooden mold, brush sesame oil on the surface, and cut into pieces.
