   2 tablespoons of flour

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   3 grams of yeast

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Dissolve the yeast in room temperature water (for kitchen novices, dissolve it in half a bowl of water; if there isn't enough yeast water when kneading the dough, you can add more room temperature water).

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Add a spoonful of sugar (using a seasoning spoon) to the flour.

   

6. 06

   Step 6

   Pour the dissolved yeast water into the prepared flour.

   Step 7

   The amount of water should not be too much, and the dough should be mixed well and made firmer.

   

8. 08

   Step 8

   Knead the dough by hand until it is firm but just right for shaping. It doesn't matter if it's not smooth. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest 20 minutes.

   Step 9

   Knead the relaxed dough until smooth, using a gentle technique.

    Step 13

    Shape the dough into buns on the work surface by hand, making sure they are tall enough so they don't collapse during proofing.

    Step 14

    After finishing the last batch, regroup the previous batches to keep them the same size.

    Fill the rice cooker halfway with cold water and place the steamer basket inside.

    

19. 19

    Step 19

    Turn on the rice cooker and cook until the water boils and steam starts to rise. Then start the timer and steam for 15 minutes. After that, turn off the power and let it sit for 5 minutes before opening the lid.
