Millet steamed bun

Resourceful steamed buns boosted with leftover millet porridge, fermented with yeast and balanced by baking soda, yielding golden, subtly sweet, extra-moist crumb.

    Sprinkle some dry flour on the cutting board, add a little baking soda to the dough, knead it evenly, and knead several times. Neutralize the acidity.

    Sprinkle some sugar on the dough and knead it evenly. Steamed buns taste better with a bit of sweetness.

    Start steaming the buns again, after the water boils, reduce to medium heat, and steam for thirty minutes. Because the buns are too big.

    Turn off the heat and let it simmer for another five minutes.
