Steps

1 hour

1

Rinse the purple rice and soak it in water for 2 hours. Cook the rice in a rice cooker with a rice-to-water ratio of 1:1.2. Let it cool and set aside.
2

Add all dough ingredients except the yeast to a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Add the yeast, mix on low for another 2 minutes, then switch to medium speed for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
3

Roll out the dough, fold it into thirds, and repeat this process three times to remove air. Finally, roll the dough flat, brush lightly with water, and roll it into a log shape.
4

Divide the dough into 18 pieces, each about 60 grams. Flatten each piece into a round disc, making the edges thinner than the center. Place 45 grams of red bean paste in the center, fold and seal the dough, then place the buns in a steamer basket. Let them rise for about 30 minutes.
5

Once risen, steam the buns over boiling water for 15 minutes. Let cool before serving.
