Delicious: Braised Meat Buns
The ingredients for steamed buns are quite simple, mainly consisting of sweet potato starch, pork, scallions, ginger, garlic, and seasonings such as soy sauce. Although the ingredients are simple, the method is crucial. First, take a certain amount of starch, then chop the meat to the consistency of dumpling filling, and finally mix it with chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns. A key element in making steamed buns is meat broth, which is why steamed buns were rarely made in times of scarcity, and only during the Spring Festival. Because at that time, farmers had the conditions to buy meat and the mood to slowly cook a large pot of meat broth, and over time, making steamed buns during the Spring Festival became a custom.
