Steamed Bao- Siopao Hot Buns

My family loves to eat steamed buns and I too love to eat them. So when I see people making ground pork steamed buns I thought I should try.  Saw a video on YouTube calling it siopao and not sure what it means so googled it and it means hot buns. Just learned a different name for buns.😁

So I followed the recipe but add a bit of hoisin sauce, red fermented tofu and sesame oil to give it a bit more flavor since it was pretty sweet. Then I followed recipe for dough. Omg...it was so wet I had to add more than a cup or 2 of flour to fix it. Guess sometime you can't follow recipe exactly especially if it's in cups and not grams. Since flour weight can be different so your cup of flour might not be same as my cup of flour. I'm still glad the end result is well. Happy to try something new. And with all the extra dough, I made some Vietnamese hollow donuts.😋
