Story

Shaping fancy steamed buns is a meditative kitchen craft, and this five-petal design is a wonderful place to start. The naturally golden pumpkin dough provides a warm canvas for a hearty stir-fry of carrot, egg, straw mushroom, wood ear mushroom, winter bamboo shoot, and scallion. The magic happens after filling: you pinch the dough into a five-pointed star, snip each corner halfway, and fold the cut edges together in pairs. A final proof and a vigorous steam set the petals, yielding plump, blossoming buns that bring a touch of spring to the table.

Instructions

Step 1

Pumpkin fermented dough. After the yellow dough with added pumpkin puree has completed its second rise, take it out, add dusting flour, and knead to expel the air. After letting it rest and relax, learn to make fancy steamed buns.

Step 2

Vegetarian filling. Made by stir-frying carrot, egg, straw mushroom, wood ear mushroom, winter bamboo shoot, and scallion, and seasoning with salt and oyster sauce.

Step 3

Take a piece of pumpkin fermented dough and roll it into a round wrapper.

Step 4

Place the vegetarian filling on top and wrap it into a five-pointed star-shaped bun.

Step 5

Cut the pinched edges of each corner open by half, then pinch the cut edges together in pairs. Form into an uncooked bun.

Step 6

After the shaped raw buns are done, cover with a damp cloth to keep warm and moist, then proof again for 40 minutes. Heat the steamer and put the raw buns in, steam over high heat for 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let them steam with residual heat for 5 minutes before serving.
