Gradually add 85g of lukewarm water to flour mix while kneading until lumps disappear. Add more water if needed. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes
While waiting for dough, start making the filling. In a bowl, mix all filling ingredients including the minced vegetables
Divide the dough into four (or however many buns you’re making) evenly sized portions and let rest for another 15 minutes.
Flatten each portioned dough with a rolling pin. Ensure the dough is flat and evenly distributed
Place the filling on top of the dough and wrap it. Begin by pulling one side towards the center and then attach all the other sides in a circular motion
After wrapping, steam the bun using parchment paper and a colander for 15 minutes, cool, and enjoy!
