    I wanted to try out steamed buns for quite a long time. Finally made it few days back. it turned out super soft and yummy. So for those people who dont have oven can try this at home. I made a huge batch of dough and made half like this and half i made pan fried buns. Both of them turned out so delicious.

    You can stuff anything inside this dough and steam it. One of the popular stuffing is sweet beans, will soon try it and share with you all.
