Little Pig Taro Buns

Overview

I had 500 grams of filling left over from yesterday’s ice-skin making. In the spirit of not wasting, I used it to make steamed buns, just in time for breakfast tomorrow! Kill two birds with one stone.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Dissolve yeast sugar with warm water and set aside.

   

2. 2 Mix the flour, yeast and water into a dough.

   

3. 3 Divide the dough into 16 portions.

   

4. 4 Take a small piece of dough, unwrap it and wrap it with filling. Pinch and seal the dough downwards.

   

5. 5 Take a small piece of dough and flatten it, use chopsticks to make 2 small holes, and stick them on to make a pig nose

   

6. 6 Take another 2 small pieces of dough and flatten them to become ears.

   

7. 7 Paste 2 grains of black rice in the middle to make eyes, and a cute little pig is completed.

   

8. 8 Place the prepared buns into the steamer and let them ferment naturally for 1 hour. After the water boils, steam over high heat for ten minutes. Tips: The mixed noodles can be filled with stuffing immediately, and can be steamed directly after fermentation, omitting the second fermentation time. I've always done it this way, it's very soft.
