How to do it

  1. Add flour, water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl
  2. Mix the bowl to make dough
  3. Knead it all for 10 minutes or until a firm, slightly elastic dough
    • Cannot be sticky or tacky. Firm > wet
    • Can knead on a mat but I just kept it in the bowl
  4. Cover the bowl of dough with a damp cloth for 1 hour or until it has risen
  5. Wrap buns
    • Flatten into circular disk, edges thinner than center
    • Put paste in the center of bun
    • Pull dough up and twist
    • Place bun face down, with the twisted part underneath so it doesn’t open back up and spill the beans
  6. Rest buns under damp paper towel for 10–20 mins
  7. Put buns in steamer
    • Line steamer with paper and drape cloth over it
  8. Steam 12 mins
  9. Sit with heat off for 1–2 mins
  10. Eat
