Basic Steamed Buns / Newly Improved Recipe 

Here is a link of the kind of Chinese wheat flour starch I used, www.amazon.co.uk/Flck-Wheat-Starch-454Gm/dp/B00AKA8AYS. The gluten in the flour has been removed, that is why the protein content is only 0,2g per 100g. Unfortunately there is no good substitute for this flour. It can be easy found in Asia and chinese stores in Europe or America. If there isn't a Chinese store near you, you can always order it online. I am sure there are order brands of wheat flour / starch out there. As long it is called "Tang" Flour translated from Chinese language, you are good to go. Good luck and success.

I just made these buns today. They were perfect. Soft and fluffy. Thank you for this recipe and your tips Chef Michael.

Nice addition of voice with just enough instruction or information! The before and after comparison of proofing is also very helpful. Thank you!

The best bun dough recipe ever! Also the instruction for how to fold the dough is the best! Buns came soft, chewy and light! I am not a bread person because I don't like heavy bread or dough. But this is the best recipe and I will use it for any stuffed buns. Thanks!

Thank you for the recipe! I finally gave it a tried and it came out perfect! Better than expected and better than restaurant and grocery store quality! It was easy with little ingredients. As well as no effort and it came out perfecto! My kids praised it and ate the bun plain with no meat! Well, that's the first and once again thank you! You are the boss!

Omg!!! I am really in love with your recipes. May God bless your hands and heart my dear

Michael your work is excellent and your dedication is admirable, thank you… Keep safe and keep smiling

Perfect! In my 70 years I have never seen any buns this good. It makes me drooling. I need to try this recipe and freeze them so I can have my fill. Thanks you my dear.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I tried it yesterday and almost cried at how beautiful the dough was! it was perfect in every way!

I made these over the weekend. Super simple and came out great. I used Tapioca starch instead of the wheat flour starch and they were super soft and fluffy. I recommend doing hamburger buns out of these. Incredible.

Made these buns today. Perfect mantou texture. Thank you Michael. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your recipe with clear step by step instructions. God bless you.

Ooo wooow...we can hear Michael Lim's voice now!!😀 The explanations are very clear👍 Thanks for the recipe...

Wanted to have some chinese buns but being stranded at home because of heavy snow. Found this online and gave it a try cause they seemed delicious and easy to make. I couldn't find any wheat flour in my cabinet so only used plain flour and ran out of milk but have coconut milk. So used coconut milk instead and it turned out absolutely delicious. Thanks for your recipe. I don't think I will ever need to buy chinese plain buns ever again but will have homemade ones from now on.

I steamed mine for 8 mins and they are done. Thank you.

I like your way of wrapping cloth on steamer cover to prevent steam water dripping to thè buns! How come I never thought of doing this way....thanks!

Oh my! Im going to use your recipe from now on. Thank you for sharing. Luv it.

Wow. Been looking for this kind of texture , definitely a better recipe looking at how beatiful layers are formed inside the cooked dough. Thank you. Subscribed.

Soo beautiful and finally I can hear your voice. Awesome 😍 thank-you for recipe

Wow I can hear and watch this video . Thank a lots !

hey!I don't know if you'll read this but I just want to say thank you very very much. I am an ammature, i lack experience, i sweat when making the simplest of recipes but I believe myself to have a passion for cooking because though no matter how foul my food can turn out to be i still enjoy making them, it gives me such joy. I even dare to say that i enjoy making them more than eating them though i'm overweight myself. You are helping me so much in this journey that I felt so wrong not to do the least of writing you a comment. also i want to add that i love the fact that you don't use any music and let's us here background sounds, it just makes it very professional, not-so-fantasy like[in a good way!Like this is actually achievable] and cool!But this doesn't mean i don't want you to use background music! So thanks again!Keep up what you do!You are an inspiration nevertheless!😊🍭😏

Ni Hao Lim Michael, thank you for the Amazon link. Even though I may not purchase this item from Amazon due to Customs & Import restrictions, I took the picture of the flour package from the amazon link to our local Chinese grocer who sourced the flour for me. Language is a real problem BUT it really makes things so much easier if I can show the Chinese grocer the ingredient name in Chinese or a picture of the packaged item.

Love your videos so much they are amazing 😍

Hello Michael lim , bealtiful and nice, thanks

Thank you Chef. 🙏

Wow! Amazing!

Wow....awesome
