Plum Blossom Buns
Overview
The Chinese New Year is definitely an indispensable staple food. This plum blossom steamed bun is also a good choice. It is down-to-earth and brings joy to the New Year. For the health of my family, I try not to use pigments as much as possible. The color of the flowers is made from red yeast powder and cocoa powder, which are purely natural and green foods.
