My friend and I always go to Chinese bakeries when we travel and we always get "Bean Muffins" it was in honor of this that I attempted this recipe. They didn't turn out quite right, which I will not blame on the recipe, but on the Sweet Bean Paste. The dough is terrific.

Tried your bun recipe today and was pleasantly suprised! I attempted steamed buns yesterday with a yeast dough filled with chicken & chinese mushroom and the bun came out tough, chewy and not well risen. The left-over filling I tried with your recipe for buns and it was good! Not as white & fluffy as the commercially made buns but still good for a home-made bun! I love the fact that your recipe is so quick and easy with pleasing results! I will be making more! Only thing I must remember is to have a thicker dough skin when making buns as I roll them too thin as if making steamed dumplings.

I loved this recipe. It was very easy to make the dough and form it. I couldn't find bean paste here, so I used Char Siew Puffs (Char Siew Sow) - Dim Sum to make filling with barbq'd pork. These were just the way I remembered them tasting in restuarants! Thanks a lot.

This was great! Sweet bean is one of my favorite flavors. I actually made these with a meat filling for dinner. I had tried another steamed bun recipe and the dough was so tough! This dough was a joy to work with. Thanks for sharing it!

This dough worked out great, but according to my Taiwanese MIL this type of dough should be filled with meat. I agree with her as I've had these buns with meat filling and had bean paste in a much lighter and fluffyer bun. All in all though, these worked out exactly as they should have and I will use the recipe a lot since said MIL has a hard time teaching me to cook Taiwanese food Thanks for posting!

I made this many years ago, and make my own homemade char sui pork to shred inside, rather than the bean paste filling....dai bao is an acquired taste, go to Hawaii and ask little local diners for char sui bao and you will be in heaven!
