Prompt
Overhead view of an open bamboo steamer basket filled with plump pale dumplings, thin translucent wrappers showing soft folds, a few dumplings pleated at the top, light steam rising, small dish of dark dipping sauce with no label beside the basket on a dark wood table, soft daylight from above, shallow steam haze, no chopsticks with writing, no text, no menus

How to use this prompt
Dumpling steamers in training data come packed with restaurant menus and branded chopstick sleeves. Ban menus and chopsticks with writing, and describe the sauce dish as unlabeled — not "blank for a label." Pleated tops on some dumplings are the shape cue; without pleats the model makes smooth dough balls instead. Soft daylight from above keeps wrappers translucent; hard side light turns them opaque and doughy. Avoid counting dumplings; ask for a filled basket and let density do the work.
Variations to try
- Lid partly covering the steamer, steam escaping the gap, tighter crop on the bamboo weave rim
- Swap to darker whole-wheat wrappers with visible vegetable flecks in the filling under the skin
