Pork buns with pickled vegetables

Overview

The Shaoxing prunes brought by my relatives smelled delicious. I used them to make meat buns today. They were very delicious. It was my first time to wrap them in the shape of willow leaves. I am not very good at the technique yet. I will need to practice more in the future!
