  4. Fill the mixture into heat-resistant plastic casing with width of 4.7 cm and length of approx. 30 cm.

  7. Remove the casing from the dough and allow to dry at 40°C for 3 hours.
  8. Place the dough in chiller for at least 2 hours to further set the dough for easy slicing.
  9. Slice the dough with a thickness of approx. 0.15 mm to 0.20 mm per piece.
