Chinese sausage steamed buns

Just learnt a simple way of steamed buns from a TV cooking show, this bun also a famous dim sum item.

Chinese sausage before cut

I did not get the exact measurement from that TV show, so I came out with my own recipe. This bun is very soft and also very yummy when you bite the sausage together with the bun, nice to have it with a cup of coffee.

2. Divide dough into 18 small balls (weight about 35gm per ball)
3. Flatten it and put a piece of sausage and roll it up, set aside to rest for another 15mins.
