A long time ago, I learned how to make this dish from a cookbook by Vasana Takeshita. It was so tasty! The amounts of ingredients are from memory , but when I steam them up, they taste just like the real thing.

These are ordinarily deep-fried after steaming, but since they aren't coated in any flour, the oil tends to spatter quite a bit. However, they are very delicious this way, too. Recipe by Etemon
