I love the texture of the steamed ones, so that's what I did, but I did pan-fry some first to brown the bottoms, then added a bit of water and covered to finish cooking. Your pleats look great--my friend and I managed only a few nice-looking ones! We were pretty hungry..<br />Oh, and for the ginger--I'm tired of it going bad, so I keep it in the freezer and then it's easy to grate from frozen.<br />:)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273294553240391802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984206126690206530.post-9215852666750017402011-12-16T11:07:46.815-05:002011-12-16T11:07:46.815-05:00Love how you did steamed and baked buns the meat l...Love how you did steamed and baked buns the meat looks delicious and moist.
