    Mantou are plain Chinese steamed buns, made from a yeasted dough of white wheat flour, milk, and sugar. They have smooth, snowy white surfaces and soft and fluffy insides, with just a hint of sweetness.
    In northern China, where wheat is the main starch-as opposed to the rice-growing regions of the south-humble mantou are a staple food eaten with every meal. In other parts of the country, you can find them served at restaurants and sold from food carts, most often enjoyed for breakfast-especially washed down with fresh soy milk. For an indulgent dessert, they can be deep-fried until their outsides are crisp and golden, then served with sweetened condensed milk for dipping.

      You can still cook them until they are fully cooked, cool to room temperature, and then freeze them.

    馒头很好吃! Steamed buns delicious!I love in pig years when they put little eyes, ears, and noses on them. When will you make 虾饺 xia jiao or har gow (I think in Canto)? The best of these shrimp dumplings I ever had was a little hole in the wall shop my taxi driver took me to in strangely enough Hangzhou not Guangzhou or Hong Kong.

    • @CiCiLi
      @CiCiLi  3 года назад

      When you steam the buns, make sure you add enough water in the steamer. If the water dried out, you would get brown spots, like you are baking them instead. Cheers!
