A useful tips
・Spinach can be easily pureed when put into a food processor with milk. The puree can be easi-ly mixed into the dough.
・In step 5, make sure not to stir too much or the dough will get hard.
・Do not lift the lid too often while the buns are steamed, or the temperature inside the steamer will drop. It is best to wait patiently.
・Plain steamed buns with cane sugar and spinach buns will look good and colorful together.
※To make plain steamed buns with cane sugar, mix milk and sugar. Follow the same steps as the spinach bun from step 4 onward.
