Method for Steamed Buns, Salapao

If you have a kitchen scale, weigh the dough into 40 gram (1.4 oz) pieces. Otherwise roll out your dough and section it into 20 pieces. Next, roll a piece of your dough into a circle, trying to make the center thicker than the outer edge. Place a teaspoon portion of the meat mix into your dough, then lift and turn the dough to form the steamed bun (as shown in video).

We also prepared hard boiled eggs and cut them into 8 equal portions, then put a portion (with yolk part down) on top of the meat mix before sealing up the dough.

We also served our buns with E-San Thai Meat Sauce and this tasted fantastic.

Place your buns on a square of wax paper then place into a stacked steamer, cook for about 10 minutes and that's all it takes to make these delicious steamed buns -- Enjoy!
