Tofu buns

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Dissolve the yeast in warm water, pour it into the flour, and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with plastic wrap or something else (like a pot lid) and let it rise.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Cut the tofu into small cubes, place them in a container, and sprinkle chopped green onions on top.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Heat oil in a pan, add chili peppers and sauté until fragrant, then pour the hot oil over chopped scallions.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Season the tofu with salt, spices, and soy sauce. I also add a little sesame oil for extra flavor.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Next, knead the dough into a long strip (it's okay if the dough hasn't risen properly; you can let it rise in the pot after you've wrapped the buns), and cut it into even small pieces (you can also pinch off small dough balls by hand).

   Step 6

   First, knead the dough into a round ball, then roll it out into a sheet with a rolling pin, not too thin.

   Step 7

   Add the seasoned tofu and shape it into a bun.

   Step 8

   Place the buns in the pot and let them rise for about 15 minutes. I used a 28 cm pot, and I only put four buns in one layer. If you put too many, they will crowd together after steaming.
