These fluffy, airy buns are made from a simple yeasted dough that has been formed into half-moon shapes and steamed. They are a common side dish served at Chinese restaurants.
You'll only need a few ingredients to make this easy recipe. Let's round them up and get started!
Mix together flour, sugar, yeast, salt, warm water, milk, and vegetable oil. Stir to form a shaggy dough.
On a floured surface, knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased mixing bowl and turn it to coat it in oil. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
Knead the dough for a few minutes, roll it out into a large rectangle, and cut it into circles.
Fold each circle in half. Press down to seal. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Steam the buns for 10-12 minutes over boiling water in a steamer lined with parchment paper.
Serve warm, with a delicious dipping sauce or as a side dish to other Chinese classics.
