Mantou are plain Chinese steamed buns, made from a yeasted dough of white wheat flour, milk, and sugar. They have smooth, snowy white surfaces and soft and fluffy insides, with just a hint of sweetness.
In northern China, where wheat is the main starch-as opposed to the rice-growing regions of the south-humble mantou are a staple food eaten with every meal. In other parts of the country, you can find them served at restaurants and sold from food carts, most often enjoyed for breakfast-especially washed down with fresh soy milk. For an indulgent dessert, they can be deep-fried until their outsides are crisp and golden, then served with sweetened condensed milk for dipping.

ty for this easy to follow mantou
After all, what would China be without some guy riding around screaming "Mantou!!" into a loudspeaker at 6:00 a.m. while you are still trying to sleep.
Thank you for sharing! It looks good!
Looks very good. Thank you CiCi.

Is it possible to lay out a type of filling like jelly or a sprinkle of sugar or nuts before you roll up the mantou? Would fillings spill from the sides?
I only know one other lady on this earth that's as passionate about cooking and enjoying steamed buns as CiCi. And I married her. From both of us, thank you for sharing your time and talent.

When you steam the buns, make sure you add enough water in the steamer. If the water dried out, you would get brown spots, like you are baking them instead. Cheers!

馒头很好吃! Steamed buns delicious!I love in pig years when they put little eyes, ears, and noses on them. When will you make 虾饺 xia jiao or har gow (I think in Canto)? The best of these shrimp dumplings I ever had was a little hole in the wall shop my taxi driver took me to in strangely enough Hangzhou not Guangzhou or Hong Kong.

Zhu Bajie, That’s a very good suggestion. I'll be sure to keep xia jiao in mind for the future video. :)
How long to steam if i want to make it half cook / or to keep frozen afterward?

You can still cook them until they are fully cooked, cool to room temperature, and then freeze them.

Do we need to wrap a towel under the lid ? Will all the water from the lid drop onto the man tao ?

You can definitely do that. For me, I didn't use any towels, and the mantou still came out pretty good.
Can you please share the measurements of the ingredients?

Is it possible to add flavorings like vanilla and chocolate to that kind of bread? And if it is possible would it be considered disrespectful to tradition?
