Transfer dough to a clean work surface then knead for 15-20 minutes and rest for at least 1 1/2 hours. Cut into 9 equal pieces and cover with cloth. Press down sliced dough with your palm. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a round thin wrapper.
  3. WRAP. Wrap the filling by folding the edge of dough counterclockwise until the bun is completely sealed. Place the buns on a steamer brushed with oil to prevent from sticking.
  4. STEAM. In a steamer, steam the buns for 15 minutes over high heat. Turn off the heat but do not open the steamer cover yet. Let the steam set in the buns for another 5 minutes before you take them out.
  5. SERVE. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

When rolling dough, make sure the center of the wrapper is thicker than the edge for easy folding. Don’t open your steamer after turning off the fire, let the steam sit in for another few minutes for the buns to be soft and fluffy.
