Bergy Dim Sum #6 Steamed sweet Bean Buns image

This recipe is from the "Complete Asian Cookbook" I have not tried this recipe as stated but have posted it by request ( I am not even sure if I can buy sweetened canned bean paste here). However the dough is what I use for other steamed Buns and will refer back to this recipe when I post other fillings

These buns were a bit dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try steaming them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm allergic to wheat, so I substituted gluten-free flour in this recipe. The buns turned out great! They were just as fluffy and delicious as the traditional buns.

These buns were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
