You can fill Chinese buns with any filling you like. I made carrot buns this time. They were delicious.

Be sure to let the buns rise (2nd rising) until they've doubled in bulk. Let the buns rest in the steamer with the lid on after they're done cooking - don't take the lid off right away! For 12 buns. Recipe by Masako Bishoku

Steps

1

Put all the dough ingredients in a bowl and knead until smooth. Let it rise for 30 minutes at around 85F/30C (You can do this easily in a bread machine.)
2

Julienne the carrots. Use a vegetable slicer to make this easier.
3

Finely chop the leek.
4

Put oil in a pan.
5

Stir fry the leek until fragrant.
6

Add the carrots and stir fry until tender. Turn off the heat.
7

Add the flavoring ingredients in the order listed. The filling is done.
8

Divide the risen dough into 12 portions.
9

Roll each piece out into a rather thick circle.
10

Place filling in the circle.
11

Wrap the dough around the filling to form the bun. Make 12 buns. Leave to rise for about 30 minutes (2nd rising).
12

Wait until the buns have risen to about twice their original size. Steam the buns for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and leave the buns with the lid on for about 2 minutes.
13

Done!
