Critical Success Points

  • Knead the dough long enough to develop the gluten.
  • Let the dough rise for a full hour.
  • Cook the mango bean seeds until they are very tender.
  • Properly seal the bao edges to prevent filling leaks.
  • Do not open the steamer basket lid during the first minutes of cooking.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of boiling water splashes when cooking the beans.
  • Use gloves or a towel to handle the hot steamer basket.
