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 with 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
  8. Line steamer with paper and drape cloth over it
  9. Steam 12 mins
  10. Sit with heat off for 1-2 mins
  11. Eat.
