Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, flavoring, white pepper, chopped green onion, and chopped celery. Gradually add warm water and knead the mixture until it forms a smooth and elastic dough. -

Fill the Cilok
Once the dough is well-kneaded, take a small portion and flatten it in your palm. Place a few pieces of boiled egg in the center, then carefully shape the dough around the filling to form a smooth ball. Repeat this process until all the dough and filling are used. -
