During my time in Indonesia and Singapore I was able to taste some amazing cooking and I do have a soft spot for anything Asian. If you read my recipe of black sesame paste, you can now read how I used it to make these cloud soft steamed buns to resemble ‘pebbles’.

Steps

15 minutes steam plus the resting of the dough

1

In a small bowl combine the milk, sugar and yeast and let rest for about 5 minutes.
2

Add the sesame paste and slowly the flour until fully incorporated. If you have a stand mixer this can be done using this too.
3

Once the dough is kneaded, let rest for 10 minutes covered in cling film. Once rested start rolling in a rectangle of 1 cm thickness and roll the dough on itself starting from the shorter side.
4

Cut in 5 small buns and let rise for an hour or more depending on the overall temperature. They should be double the size and feel hollow when lifted.
5

Prepare your water pot and a bamboo steamer and if you have a small like me, I cooked one bun at the time. I served mine with chicken Milanese with all the trimmings and a homemade dressing of spring onions, rice bran oil, chilli and honey. Add some lime zest for zing.
