Description

These Chocolate Steamed Buns are soft, fluffy, and filled with gooey chocolate chips, making them a perfect sweet treat. The dough is enriched with cocoa powder for a subtle chocolate flavor and steamed to create cloud-like buns with a tender texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Filling

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the warm water and vegetable oil into the dry mix. Stir continuously until a dough starts to form.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it gently for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Let dough rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for 30 minutes until it doubles in size.
  5. Divide the dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small equal portions to form balls suitable for buns.
  6. Fill the buns: Flatten each dough ball with your hands or a rolling pin, place a spoonful of chocolate chips in the center.
  7. Seal the buns: Carefully wrap the dough around the chocolate chips and pinch the edges together to completely seal the filling inside.
  8. Steam the buns: Place the prepared buns in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Steam over boiling water for 15 minutes until the buns are puffed, soft, and cooked through.

Notes

  • Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast and help the dough rise properly.
  • Use fresh baking powder for best rising results.
  • Do not overfill the buns to prevent leaks during steaming.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with other fillings like red bean paste or custard for variety.
  • Serve buns warm for the best melting chocolate experience.
