Patterned Steamed Buns for Mother’s Day

Patterned Steamed Buns for Mother’s Day

Overview

When I was little, I felt that the most powerful person was my mother. She was not afraid of the dark, knew everything, made delicious meals, and kept my life in order. I had to go to her when I cried and didn't know what to do. But I seem to have forgotten that the person I relied on was once a little girl, who was afraid of the dark and shed tears, and who was clumsy and would get pricked by needles. The most beautiful girl, what makes you so strong, is it time or love? Mother's Day is coming soon, so I created a fancy pasta to give to my favorite mom.

  2. Jujube: appropriate amount. After washing, put it into cold water and start cooking. After the water boils, immediately remove the water and drain it. Don’t cook it too high, and steam it later to avoid overcooking.

  4. Press the red yeast rice into powder, add water and boil, filter out the residue with gauze, leave the red yeast rice water, and set aside to warm. You can also buy ready-made red yeast rice powder and mix it directly with the noodles. I feel that the red yeast rice water I make is more reliable.

  5. Mix yeast and baking powder into flour and mix well. Take three small amounts of flour and mix them with cocoa powder, matcha powder and red yeast rice water to form three-color dough. Place the three-color dough in different containers, cover with moist drawer cloth, and ferment separately in a warm place.

  23. After everything is fixed, secondary fermentation is carried out. Observe that the volume has increased and the surface of the dough is fluffy and rising. Steam it in a pot and cook it for 25 minutes. Please increase or decrease the steaming time according to the size. When mature, cut out eyes from seaweed sheets according to personal preference, and use chopsticks dipped in food coloring to draw a red-cheeked mouth.

  24. My mother is a very good cook and can make a lot of delicious food. My mother was a magical gardener and she made everything grow well. She is also a kind-hearted fairy who always makes me happy when I am sad. My mom is as beautiful as a butterfly, as comfortable as a couch, and sometimes as strong as a rhinoceros! I love her, and you know what? She loves me too! (Love Me Forever) - Excerpt from Anthony Brown's picture book "My Mother"
