   Visual: 面团成光滑略粘手球体，指压后缓慢回弹。Dough forms a smooth, slightly tacky ball that springs back slowly when poked.

   You know it's right when: 表面润泽，无干裂纹。Surface looks hydrated, no dry cracks.

2. 2Divide dough into two balls. Roll each into a 15-cm round. Brush top surface lightly with sesame oil, sprinkle scallions and pinch edges to seal. Roll again into 18-cm rounds — layers will form naturally.

   Visual: 表面密布2–3毫米大小均匀气泡，如木薯珍珠。Small, even blisters (2–3 mm) dot the surface like tapioca pearls.

   You know it's right when: 铲背轻触，气泡不塌陷。Blisters hold shape when gently tapped with spatula.

4. 4Immediately after flipping, pierce 3 small holes around center with chopstick tip. Quickly pour 1 lightly beaten egg (about 30 ml) through holes into the pocket. Cover pan and steam 60 seconds.

   Visual: 蛋液清晰渗入夹层，饼面整体隆起5–8毫米。Egg flows visibly into gaps; surface swells upward 5–8 mm.

   You know it's right when: 锅盖下有轻微嘶嘶声；盖内侧凝结水珠。Slight hissing sound under lid; steam condenses on underside.

5. 5Uncover, cook uncovered 45 seconds until top sets and bottom crisps. Flip once more and cook final 30 seconds. Slice into wedges and serve hot.

   最后一面决定酥脆度
