Pumpkin Bao with Chicken and Onions 洋葱鸡肉南瓜包

This morning just realized that today is deadline to submit pumpkin baozi (steamed buns) to "Best recipe for everyone" event. So i decided to make pumpkin bao with chicken and onion filling so can be served as lunch.





This time just changed my earlier Chicken and Onion Bao recipe to Pumpkin Bao, still using my favourite chicken and onion filling.
