Steamed bread with black beans and brown sugar 2. Increased black beans and brown sugar, enhanced kinako flavor.

This is my second time making steamed bread with black bean brown sugar powder. This time, I added 10g of black bean brown sugar powder. As expected, increasing the amount of powder resulted in a stronger kinako (roasted soybean flour) flavor. The texture was fluffy. Also, […]

Chinese-style steamed buns 2. Not enough sugar and soy sauce?

This is my second time making Chinese-style steamed buns (with added soy sauce and baking soda). The finished product tasted more like store-bought ma lai gao than last time, but there still wasn't enough soy sauce (and sugar?). There was too much flour […]

Steamed Black Tea Bread. With just a pinch of baking soda, it’s not as fluffy.

This time, I tried adding baking soda (a pinch, about 0.5g?) to the black tea steamed bread. I wanted to see if this amount would make it rise enough and if it would reduce the unique smell of baking soda.   The finished product, compared to using 2g of baking soda, had a slightly reduced fluffiness […]

Chinese-style Steamed Bread: Adding Soy Sauce and Baking Soda. The Flavor and Color Were Too Faint.

This time, I tried making a Chinese-style steamed bread by adding soy sauce and baking soda. The finished product had a flavor similar to the store-bought Malai gao (steamed cake), but the taste was too faint, likely because the amount of soy sauce was too little or the amount of flour was too much. I also added a small amount of baking soda to give it a yellowish color, but the color was also light. I need to rethink the recipe. […]

Steamed Egg Bread: Extra Fluffiness from Added Baking Soda

This time, I added 2g of baking soda to my usual steamed egg bread recipe. I wanted to see if the combination of baking powder and baking soda would improve the rise. As I hoped, the finished bread was soft and fluffy. However, it tasted a bit saltier than my usual steamed egg bread, which might be because I used too much baking soda. 2g of baking soda might be too much for a recipe with only about 50g of flour. […]

Black tea steamed bread. Made with black tea leaves for a rich black tea flavor.

This time, I tried grinding black tea leaves and adding them to steamed bread. The result was black tea-flavored steamed bread. It often fails if there's too much moisture, but this time, since the tea leaves were ground, it didn't fail. Black tea steamed […]

Cocoa Steamed Bread. Made with cocoa powder. There are some flour lumps, but it turned out pretty good.

This time, we made cocoa steamed bread. The finished product had some lumps of flour, but it turned out pretty well. With 5g of cocoa powder, the cocoa flavor was quite prominent. By the way, when I made egg steamed bread last time, the cup molds were cold […]

Black Tea Cheese Steamed Bread. The black tea flavor is strong, and I can’t taste the cheese.

This time, I tried making steamed bread with black tea and cheese. When it was done, I had put in a lot of cheese, but even so, I couldn't taste the cheese, and it ended up being a somewhat cloying black tea-flavored steamed bread. I wonder if cheese and black tea (tea leaves) are not compatible flavors […]

Black Tea Steamed Bread 5. Uses 35g milk, 20g oil, and 5g tea leaves to achieve a texture similar to store-bought products.

This time, I tried making steamed cheese buns with 35g milk, 20g oil, and 5g black tea leaves. The finished product had a fluffy and moist texture, very similar to store-bought items. When adding dried ingredients (like tea leaves) to steamed buns, […]

Steamed Cheese Bread 3. 35g milk, 20g oil, 20g cheese, surface slightly bumpy.

This time, I tried making steamed cheese bread with 35g milk, 20g oil, and 20g cheese. The finished product had a slightly uneven surface, which might have been due to too much moisture. Also, the cheese aroma was faint, and the texture was fluffy and moist […]
