Detailed Steps for Making Garlic Chive Buns
Prepare the above ingredients
Cut the garlic chives into small pieces about 5mm long, mix with some sugar to reduce spiciness.
Cut the meat into small pieces, marinate with the above seasonings for about 15 minutes
Mix the garlic chives with the marinated meat
Knead the fermented dough, then divide into equal-sized portions.
Flatten the portions
Roll out the dough into bun skins of even thickness
Start wrapping the buns, you can add more filling for a leaf-shaped bun
Let it rest for about 20 minutes, then steam over cold water. I and my child prefer softer garlic chive buns, so I steam them for 25 minutes. After turning off the heat, let it sit for 3-4 minutes before opening the lid to prevent the buns from shrinking.
