Last year, I made Chinese Steamed Buns – Man Tou using the Food Network website.  So last week I went to my Chinese friend’s house and she taught me her own recipe.  She had tried a few recipes but they were not as good as the ones sold in her own country.  She had also tried a number of different brands of plain flour but found that the Aldi plain flour is whiter than other brand. Also it is cheap at only 49p.  Also by adding strong white flour, it makes the bun spongier.  She also taught me a new way to steam buns.  I saw it on internet before but I dared not try it until now.  Since she taught me once, I have been trying it out and it was great but just slightly oily.
