Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 30 grams Sugar
• 3 grams Salt
• 150 milliliters Warm water
• 30 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 200 grams Red bean paste (sweetened)
• 20 milliliters Soy milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center and gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients to form a rough dough, then transfer it onto a floured surface.

Step 4

Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air bubbles and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 7

Flatten each portion into a disc and place about 25 grams of sweetened red bean paste in the center.

Step 8

Carefully wrap and seal the dough around the red bean paste, pinching the edges together tightly to ensure the filling won't leak out during baking.

Step 9

Arrange the buns seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 11

Brush the tops of the buns lightly with soy milk to give them a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the buns cool slightly before serving.
