Made it! Doable even for a complete novice such as I. Kneading dough is hard work though.

In reply to Deborah. For any yeast buns I prefer to freeze them after cooking because the freezing process might affect the dough rising. Unlike pizza dough (which you can freeze and it will rise later), the buns are tricky because the freezing process also release liquid from the filling which messes with the dough texture. I think you can try to freeze one if you made extra, but to be the safest, it's the best to freeze the cooked buns.

I loved this on my first attempt but I think I can make them even better. Can I freeze the buns before the second rise?

I haven’t had a chance to make one for this recipe but I do have an older steamed bun video if you’re curious about the wrapping method: http://youtu.be/dz-eu-yvsMU

My buns were not as pretty as the ones in your pictures, but they sure were delicious! The smell and flavour brought me back to China, where I lived for some years. Great recipe!

In reply to Marjie. So sorry for the typo! 150 ml should be 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons. I was calculating it in my mind and then totally typed it wrong. I'm glad to hear your buns still came out well. Thanks for letting me know about this!

Made this last night – we loved it! First time making buns so they were not pretty but your instructions and video were very helpful! However, I think the recipe has an error – the water amount is not correct. It says 150ml (2 cups + 2 tablespoons) … too much water! We just added another cup flour and had some big buns, but still delicious.
