Then the left hand holds the dough piece, with the head end of the dough piece facing upwards, and the index finger and thumb of the right hand pull off a dough piece the size of a finger belly.

Twist in the opposite direction (that is, twist the index finger down and rub the thumb up, usually while pulling), so that the dough piece becomes cat's ear (concave belly), so that it can be turned over from the upper end of the hand (that is, the front end of the face) and jumped into the boiling water pot, cooked and fished out.
