Steps

1

Wash the pandan leaves, cut them into small pieces, and blend with the milk in a blender. Strain to get 2/3 cup (about 150 grams) pandan milk.
2

Mix all the ingredients with the pandan milk, then knead for about 20 minutes. Divide the dough into small portions and shape as desired. I made 7 pieces.
3

Shape the buns as you like, then cover with plastic wrap and let them rest for about 1 hour.
4

After resting, steam the buns. Bring water to a boil, place the buns in the steamer, and cover the lid with a towel. Steam over medium heat for about 10 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let the buns sit for 5 minutes before opening the lid. The buns will be soft, smooth, and fragrant—enjoy them hot!
