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

    This is another recipe for buns. The taste changes depending on how you cook them! These griddle-cooked or pan-fried buns are just as soft and fluffy as steamed buns, and they are hard to mess up too! They're easier and quicker to make than steamed buns!If the buns are hard to wrap, reduce the amount of filling.The chopped chives tend to become soggy, so mix them into the filling just before you form the buns. For 4 servings, 12 buns. Recipe by Masako Bishoku

    Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns) Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns)

    These nikuman have fluffy and light yet still nicely chewy dough, and a ginger-scented filling. If you wrap them this way it's easy and the results are very neat.http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/aigomi2087This method makes dough that is light and fluffy even when the room temperature is below 25°C, so in the summertime the pre-proofing step is not necessary. You can just mix all the ingredients up at room temperature.It's probably not possible to steam the buns all at once, so you can steam half and pan fry half to enjoy the buns in two ways.

    This recipe was inspired by Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals, these take a bit longer than Jamie's buns did because it was my idea to stuff the buns with the duck. You could eat them plain ala Jamie, or stuff them with whatever mix you liked!

    Restaurant-Quality Steamed Pork Buns Restaurant-Quality Steamed Pork Buns

    I love the steamed pork buns served at a certain famous restaurant, and I tried to recreate them several times. But they'd come out too wet because of too much liquid in the filling, or the dough would be too dry. Finally, I was finally able to make a version I was happy with. Here's the secret to successful steamed pork buns!It takes some time to make these, but it's important to let the dough rest properly to make it soft and fluffy. For 10 buns. Recipe by HIROMIKOSAN

    I don't have a steamer at home, so I always use this recipe when I make nikuman. I saw this recipe in a magazine before, but I uploaded it here since it's so delicious.If you can't eat them all, cover with cling film to stop them from drying out. Microwave them before you eat, and you can enjoy them as if they were freshly made. You can steam 8 nikuman all at the same time in a 26 cm frying pan. If you use a smaller frying pan, steam in 2 batches. Recipe by Yukimama

    Brown Sugar Steamed Buns Brown Sugar Steamed Buns

    I made a brown sugar version of my plain steamed buns.All you have to do is stir it around and then put it in the steamer.If you don't mix the brown sugar in completely, the finished product actually looks really nice in my opinion.If using regular milk, increase the amount to 160 ml.If the finished dough seems be a bit hard, you can add in 10 ml more of milk.
