- Microwave the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe cover. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring every minute, until the dough becomes thick and sticky. Be carefulโitโs hot! ๐ฅ
- Dust & Knead: Sprinkle cornstarch on a clean surface and your hands to prevent sticking. Transfer the hot dough onto the surface and knead it lightly until smooth. ๐ฝโ
