Mini Longan Shredded Buns

Mini Longan Shredded Buns

Overview

It is a hand-shredded bun that can be enjoyed without crisping. Because there are no cranberries, longan meat is used. It tastes really good when baked. The outer skin is hard and crispy when it is baked. After being left at room temperature for one night, the texture becomes tougher. But when I sprayed water on it and re-baked it in the morning, it tasted better. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was my first time doing plastic surgery and I felt that there was still room for improvement. The original recipe comes from Hatch0328, thank you.
