Steaming steamed buns for about 8-15 minutes is best.

The time for steaming steamed buns varies depending on the size of the buns and the heat of the steamer, in general, small buns are steamed for 8-10 minutes, medium sized buns are steamed for 10-12 minutes, and large buns may need to be steamed for 12-15 minutes.

To make sure the steamed buns are fully steamed, you can use a bamboo steamer or a steamer pot, heat the water to boiling, add the steamed buns, and then cover the pot to start steaming. During the steaming process, you can check the maturity of the steamed buns at the right time. When the buns become fluffy, elastic, and there is no sticky feeling in the middle, you can tell that the buns are cooked.

If you use a steamer to steam the buns, the heat should be moderate to avoid too much heat causing the bottom of the buns to scorch. If you're using an electric steamer, you may need to adjust the steaming time slightly depending on the size of the buns and the setting of the steamer.

Steaming Steamed Buns Tips

1, Fermentation Time Control: Before steaming steamed buns, make sure the buns have gone through sufficient fermentation, the fermentation time should be based on the temperature and the speed of dough fermentation. Generally speaking, the fermentation time is 1-2 hours until the dough is fermented to 1.5 times its original size.

2. Steamer preheating: Before putting the steamed buns into the steamer, heat the steamer to boiling, which helps to promote the expansion of the buns and improve the steaming effect.

3. Bottom padding: Putting a layer of steamer padding (such as steamer cloth or lettuce leaves) at the bottom of the steamer can prevent the buns from sticking to the bottom of the steamer, while also providing some protection.

4, do not open the lid in the middle: in the process of steaming buns, try to avoid opening the lid frequently to check. Opening the lid will lead to loss of steam, affecting the expansion and texture of the steamed buns.
