This is my Pea-Shaped Steamed Buns recipe, perfect for a small batch and fits a 10-inch steamer. The buns are soft and fluffy with a natural green color from spinach purée. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavor that’s light and comforting. They look like little pea pods with three white “peas” inside.

Steps

2 hours

1

Blanch washed spinach in boiling salted water for 8–10 seconds, chill in ice water, squeeze dry to 35g, then blend with 30ml water and ¼ tsp lemon juice until smooth (yields about 60ml)
2

Mix flour, salt, yeast, sugar, and spinach purée. Knead into a smooth green dough ball.
3

Mix flour, salt, yeast, sugar, and water. Knead into a smooth white dough ball.
4

Roll the green dough ball and the white dough ball into long logs, then divide each log into 16 equal pieces
5

Divide each white dough piece into three small parts (about 5g each) and roll them into round balls—you’ll get 48 balls total.
6

Roll each green dough piece into a round ball, about 15g each.
7

Roll each green ball into a disc about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter using a rolling pin.
8

Make a cut right down the middle of the green disc, but don’t cut all the way through the sides.
9

Take three white dough balls, smooth side down, line them up in a row, and place them on the green disc.
10

Pinch the edges tightly to seal, then use a small knife to shape and tidy up the bun.
11

After shaping all the buns, place them in the steamer and let them rise until about 1.5 times bigger.
12

Once the water’s boiling and steaming, cook the buns for 8 minutes. Then turn off the heat and wait 3 minutes before opening the lid.
13

They turn out fluffy, soft, and stretchy—super delicious! Perfect with soup or as a side. Enjoy!
