Summary
Specialized profession responsible for the entire manufacturing process of raw fu products using wheat gluten and rice flour as raw materials.
Description
Raw fu manufacturers use wheat gluten and rice flour as main ingredients to produce raw fu products through processes such as kneading, forming, steaming, and drying, and handle packaging and shipping. First, wheat flour is kneaded with water, excess starch is removed to extract gluten, and then mixed with rice flour and water to knead the dough. Then, after forming, it is heated in a steamer, with strict temperature and humidity control to achieve the proper texture and flavor. The finished raw fu is dried or cooled, undergoes quality inspection, and is then packaged and shipped. They also operate and maintain manufacturing machines, provide guidance for on-line operations, and support efficient production as a team.
