Knead the dough again until it is smooth. Take a 270-gram piece of dough, roll it into a ball, and roll it into a strip. Gently press both ends flat to make the body of the little tiger.

Use a knife to cut 5 knives first, and then cut each portion into 2 knives.

Pinch the 3 strips together.
6
Then fold the other end over and use a comb to press out the tiger pattern.

Take a 15g piece of dough, roll it into a ball, flatten it into a sheet, and cut 8 knives on one side. Cut 2 more knives into each strip and pinch every 3 strips to make the mane for the little tiger's neck.

Take a piece of 25g dough, roll it into a ball and roll it into strips, press both ends slightly, and cut 3 knives respectively to cut out the tiger's hind legs.

Bend it into a U shape and brush a layer of water on the surface.

Brush a little water on the bottom of the neck bristles and install them on the front of the body.
11
Then bend the hind legs into a U shape, brush a layer of water on the surface and place it under the tail of the little tiger.
12
Take a small piece of dough, roll it into a long shape, shape it into a triangle, and cut the top with scissors to make a tiger tail.
13
Take a 40-gram piece of dough and roll it into a round shape, and use a small comb to press it into the shape of a tiger's mouth.
14
Brush the bottom of the finished triangular strip with clean water and install it on the back of the little tiger.
15
Make the tiger’s nose, eye sockets, ears, and teeth.

Tips:
Don’t make the noodles too soft, otherwise not only will it be difficult to shape, but the finished product will not be beautiful either.
