The filling is wrapped in a thick dumpling wrapper made from a mixture of flours or plant starches mixed together with boiling water. Although the recipe for the wrapper dough may vary somewhat, it typically consists of de-glutenized wheat flour (澄面), tapioca flour (菱粉), and corn or potato starch (生粉). The dumplings are usually served with a small dish of chili oil.
