Steam the Hanamaki for about 10-15 minutes.

Putting Hanamaki in cold water can make the steamed Hanamaki softer and more delicious, and the fluffy effect will be better. Hanamaki can slowly become cooked as the water temperature continues to rise. Generally, Hanamaki is cooked in cold water. It only needs to be steamed for about 10-15 minutes. It should not be steamed for too long.

When steaming the Hanamaki, place a layer of steamer cloth at the bottom of the steamer to prevent the Hanamaki and the steamer from adhering. At the same time, when placing the Hanamaki, keep a little distance between them to prevent the Hanamaki from becoming larger. Then they squeeze and deform each other, causing the final steamed rolls to look unsightly.

Making Hanamaki Manju noodles requires fermentation, so in addition to adding yeast to it, you can actually use old fermentation to rise the dough, which is better than yeast powder. The old yeast is actually the dough left over from the last time you made steamed buns. After it is soaked in water, it can be mixed into the flour. The dough fermented with old fermentation will be softer, and the Hanaki made will naturally be more delicious.
