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

Steamed bread

This is my second time making Chinese-style steamed bread (with added soy sauce and baking soda).

The finished product had a flavor more similar to commercially available Ma Lai Gao than last time, but it still wasn’t as rich as store-bought Ma Lai Gao. This might be because the amount of soy sauce (and perhaps sugar?) was still too little (or too much flour). It seems I need to increase the amount of soy sauce and sugar a bit more.

Chinese Steamed Bread Recipe (Instructions)

(1) Whisk the whole egg, 20g milk, 15g oil, 60g sugar, and 5g soy sauce with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes. (It will get quite frothy.)

(2) Add 50g flour, 2g baking powder, and 1g baking soda to (1) and mix until there are no lumps of flour.

(3) Pour (2) into a mold lined with lunchbox paper cups and steam for about 15 minutes in a boiling pot (I wrapped the pot lid with a towel to create a makeshift steamer).
