love looking at your bun recipe / photo’s.
oh yum! It reminds me of the mini version of the ‘Big Buns’ / Dai Bao from New Town Bakery. It’s this massive of a bun, stuffed with everything imaginable.
Steamed buns are great healthy, portable and kid-friendly snacks 😀
We buy ours from T&T Supermarket. 6n for $5.99. They have around 4 or 5 varieties. Love ’em when they’re fresh out of the steamers
This looks so unbelievably delicious !
I think I’m going to take a shot at making them.
I do have a question though . In the Ingredients for the filling there aren’t any measurements for all the items aside from the meat and Cabbage . Does that mean you just add a pinch or a dash into the filling ?
^_^ Thanks a bunch for posting all your delicious recipes , I really cant wait to try this one out !
Hi Amber, you are right on the seasoning. Just season according to your taste preference. My guide line for salt is 1 teaspoon of salt for 1 pound of meat and I would balance the salt with some sugar; like 1.5 teaspoons of sugar to 1 teaspoon of salt.
