Steps:
- Prepare warm water around 35 °C and melt the sugar in. And mix the yeast with the water. Mix well and set aside for around 5 minutes. If you do not want sugar, just skip it.
- Place salt and flour in a large bowl. Pour the water with yeast slowly to the bowl with flour and stir with a chopstick.
- Then knead the flour into smooth and soft dough. At the very beginning, it might be a little bit sticky. Or you can simple resort to a stand mixer.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for around 1 hour or until the paste ball doubles in size.
- When the dough is double in size, get paste ball out, dust the operating board and re-knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until the dough becomes almost smooth again. Divide the dough into two parts, keep kneading and shape each part into 1 inch thick long log.
- Remove the two ends and use a very sharp knife to cut the log to smaller pieces (around 2 cm wide). Try to keep the original shape. Place the buns to a lined steamer one by one. Leave some space among each one as the buns rise after steaming.
- Add cold water to your wok or steel steamer. Cover the lid and rest for 10 minutes in summer and around 20 minutes in winter or until the bun becomes fluffy again.
- Use high fire to bring the water to a boil and continue to steam for around 20 to 25 minutes (depending on the size of your buns).
- Remove off the fire and wait for around 5 minutes before opening the lid. Serve warm or re-steam to soften before serving.

CHINESE STEAMED BUNS (MANTOU)
I lived in China back in the early 90's and these were a breakfast favorite dipped in sweetened condensed milk. I thought they were like the bread version of marshmallows! I found them again at a Chinese restaurant this weekend, which sent will on a quest to find the recipe. I'm keeping it here at Zaar so I never lose it. Unfortunately, I'm not a low-carb diet right now. Bummer!

CHINESE STEAMED BUNS (MANTOU)
The Chinese steamed bun sometimes known as Mantou, is a kind of steamed bun originating from Northern China. Most contain wheat flour, water and leavening agents making them an equivalent to the white bread that is a staple in the U.S.A. The filling varies quite a bit. Mantou are also known in the south, but are often served as street food or a restaurant dish, rather than as a staple of home cooking.

Steps:
- You will also need a rice steamer and some parchment paper.
- Directions:.
- Mix yeast, flour and sug arand salt. Stir well. Add melted lard, vinegar and egg white, mix thoroughly. Result should resemble grains of sand. Add in enough water to turn dough into a ball.
- Knead for about 6-8 minutes with a dough hook in your mixer. If kneading by hand, take a little longer.
- When properly kneaded dough is not overly sticky, very smooth, pulls apart without being stringy. If you under knead your dough, it will flatten when you steam it. If you over knead your dough, it will become very hard.
- Oil up dough ball and place it in a metal bowl. Put a damp paper towel or rag over your bowl let it rest in a warm place to rise for an hour. It should double in size. If you wish, you can set your oven on the keep warm setting and place your bowl in there for an hour.
- Soak the wood ears and shiitake mushrooms in hot water to revive them. Chop them into fine pieces. Next chop your chives. Place your pork and chicken into a bowl and add all of the chopped items. Mix thoroughly. Add in seasonings.
- To test: Place a spoonful in a bowl and nuke it in the microwave. Try it out and add more seasoning as needed.
- Your filling should be relatively sticky and dry. If it is too watery, your dough will get soggy and it will be hard to fill. Make sure everything is well drained!
- Cut parchment paper to 2-3 inch squares. If your buns will be big, cut bigger squares. This will keep your buns from being stuck to your steamer.
- Knead dough to get all of the air out. Knead into sausage shapes and cut into little pieces. Flatten your dough with your hand and spoon filling into dough. Bring all edges to the center and pinch closed. Place on top of parchment paper and set in a cookie tray to rise for 30 minutes.
- Do not overstuff, buns will expand too much. Insure the bottoms of buns aren't too thin or juices from filling will make bottom soggy.
- Ready your steamer and make sure to boil extra water for steaming. Place your buns in the steamer. Steam for 15 minutes (or 20 if your buns are big) and enjoy!

- Combine the all purpose flour, wheat starch, baking powder, yeast, and sugar into the mixing bowl with the dough hook attachment. Set to the lowest / stirring speed until all the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Turn up the speed to level 5. When the dough turns into a ball (and releases from the sides), continue to knead on medium (about level 5) for 5 more minutes. The ball of dough should look smooth with no lumps and completely detach from the sides of the bowl.
