Cooking Instructions

1. These Chinese steamed buns are also called tingmos and mantous.
2. Mix 2 cups flour with 1 tsp Yeast, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar, Vegetable oil and 1/2 cup warm water. Knead a dough untill smooth.
3. Grease a bowl with oil and keep the dough in it. Let it stand for around 3-4 hours (until it raises)
4. Knead the dough again after 3-4 hours and make small equal balls. Shape them as desired. Put them aside on a wax paper or a Greased plate and let them covered for 30 minutes
5. In the steamer put water to boil and put the balls made in step 4 inside the steamer. Let them steam for 15-20 minutes
6. Remove the lid before turning off the heat as the water on the lid creates depressions on the buns. Continue steaming for more 5 minutes.
7. Serve hot with desired soup / chilli paneer / chilli chicken or dips.
