    The flower stem extends diagonally from under the Buddha character, and a little water is applied to the back of each petal. The petals are attached one by one to form a lotus flower. After attaching, gently press inward to make the petals fit more smoothly.

    Brush the small yellow pearls with water and stick them one by one on the bottom of the buns. During our preparation, the dough had nearly finished proofing, so we placed it in the steamer with cold water and steamed it over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
