Hanamaki

Overview

When making homemade steamed buns, I suddenly remembered the flower rolls I made when I was a child. At that time, we only had the opportunity to participate during the Chinese New Year. The dough was rolled into long strips and turned in circles. The fun during the process was just like that of children now kneading plasticine. The adults also called it silk sedan chair (pronunciation, I don’t know how to write it yet). Looking back, it was really fun
