  1. Pour 5 tablespoons of white sugar into about 100ml of warm water and stir to dissolve. Then pour in 2 grams of Angel active dry yeast. Stir to dissolve and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. (During the resting period, the water level of the yeast water will rise) Then take 500 grams of flour and set aside (leave a little flour for use when kneading the dough)

  10. Boil the sugar water in a pot. You can have a little more sugar. If you don't like it too sweet, you can reduce it appropriately, but if you add less, it will lose the taste.

  12. When cooking the taro filling, stir constantly, otherwise it will stick to the bottom of the pot and easily have a burnt smell. Cook until the taro does not fall down when you pick up the spatula.

  16. Boil water over high heat and steam in a pot. Change to medium heat when steaming. If you are worried about the buns sticking to the bottom of the steamer, place a piece of carrot on the bottom of the buns to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Don't open the lid of the pot immediately after steaming. Let it simmer for 2 minutes before opening the lid to prevent "ghost-caught buns" from appearing.
