Pan Fried Steamed Buns

This is one of the best pan fried steamed bun I have made this far. Easy to make and lips snacking good. Dough is easy to handle and I managed to stuff in as much fillings as possible. I have learned how to stuff more fillings and not break the dough skin during this pandemic time. Fillings is important if you want the bun to taste good.  I like buns packed with lots of fillings.

 Fire must be on medium low

so that it gets cook thru without

 burning the sesame seeds

For more fillings....

the trick is to use the thumb

to push the fillings down 

as we pleat the skin

after pleating ,lightly brush water

 on surface and then pressed on the sesame seeds

The sesame seeds coating on the 

top surface is evenly done

My pleating technique

has improved 😝

Fillings consists of

Tofu puffs, carrots, chives

and minced meat. Seasonings 

are garlic and oyster sauce and white pepper.
