Step 5: Knead and deflate the fermented dough, about kneading for 5 minutes, cut it open and see that the cut surface has no air holes, then divide the dough into 6 pieces. Take a dough piece, roll it into a pastry with an intermediate thickness and a thin outer edge, and put in an appropriate amount of purple rice filling. Don't put too much filling, otherwise it's easy to burst when packing.
Step 6: Wrap the purple rice filling into small buns, tighten the mouth, and place them on oil paper, cover with plastic wrap to maintain humidity.
