On a low heat stove, mix the ingredients for the Tanzhong in a sauce pan using a whisk for 3-5 mins till its thick and glue like. Leave at room temperature
2

Add all the dough ingredients in the mixing bowl and add the Tanzhong mix last. Knead with the mixing maching or using your hands till dough mix is smooth and make into a ball shape. Leave the dough to rest by covering with a towel for 60-90 mins
3

Your dough will be puffy, divide the dough into 14 equally shaped balls then place the cheese filling in each of them by wrapping the dough around the cheese and place them in a honeycomb shape in a lightly greased pan (better use a pan that detaches from the bottom, like a cheesecake pan), leaving small spaces between them
4

Cover the dough balls to rest for 30-40 mins only, they will become puffy and stick to each other. After grease them with the egg wash and sprinkle seeds if needed and then bake for 25-30 mins until golden
