Tips: If the cheese is visible outside the dough, it may leak out while frying, so press the seams closed several times with your fingers.
Tips: If the dough sticks too much to your hands, add just a little more glutinous rice flour; if it cracks too easily, add water 1 teaspoon at a time.
Tips: The cheese will be very hot if you cut them right away, so let them cool for 1–2 minutes so they hold their shape better.
