Steamed Pork Bun

When I have free time, I always watch youtube! See how they shape the bun in many different shapes and sizes and that's cute!.. I find one day, I'm going to make it too. After I bought my TM hahaha here I come.

I love the soft texture of steamed bun. Normally I will buy this outside the stall where those Chinese used to sell near the roadside. I stored it in the freezer so I can steam it whenever I want. Of course now I know how to make it, no more frozen bun! We can have lots of variety of the filling like char siew, red bean, peanut, chicken or others filling.  But today im going to make pork filling. This is all homemade and is the healthy version.

This is the pork filling! I make it something like wantan filling. you can put more ingredients like mushroom and prawn.

4) Flatten it a bit then used a rolling pin to roll the edges and only the edge. You can see the center of the dough is have a small bulge.

5) Then gather and pull the edges up and twist, pull and twist till u get this. You need alot of practice. 

6) In a pot of boiling water, steam around 15-20mins depend on your bun size.

See, look like a rose, beautiful right? hahahaha~you can freeze it and thaw it before you steam again. You do not need to have all same size or shape. just shape it and twist like no one's business. The most important thing is that it is delicious.!
