There two videos in which people use the word nab8 to describe how they use their hands to mix ingredients. I cannot think of an English word - I do not think I can say knead or massage. In video 1 the little lad was explain about mixing the ingredients into the chicken pieces.
In video 2 it was about mixing the ingredients into the sweet potato.
To mix evenly in Teochew is said as zao5 and I have not seen a character for zao5. The Mandarin equivalent is 均勻
