Steps for Purple Rose Mantou

1
Steam the purple potatoes and press them into a paste, add flour, sugar, rice vinegar, warm water and mix into dough. After fermentation, rub into strips and cut into small doses. Take a small amount and rub it into thin strips. (Used to make cores)

Steam the purple potatoes and press them into a paste. Add flour, sugar, rice vinegar, warm water and mix to form a smooth dough. After fermentation, take the parts and knead them into long strips and cut them into small doses. Take another small amount and rub it into thin strips as thick as a finger (used to make a core)
3
Roll out the small dose into round pieces and place the second round one quarter of the first round. Put them in order. Take the other thin strip to the diameter and length of the disc and place it in the middle of the last disc
4
Take chopsticks and press them into a ditch in the middle. I made it thicker, but it would be better to make it thinner.
5
Start rolling from the end, and it is best to roll your hands in the groove pressed by the chopsticks
6
After rolling, twist it in the middle or cut it with a knife. Stand up halfway and have plastic surgery. It looks like a flower. If you don't open it, it will steam out like tulips. When the petals are opened, they steam out like roses.

After rolling, twist it in the middle or cut it with a knife. Stand up halfway, plastic surgery. If you don't open the petals, they will steam out like tulips. When the petals are opened, they will only be like roses when they are steamed. Put it on the drawer and wake up for about five minutes, and start steaming.

After steaming, stop for seven or eight minutes before opening the lid. Okay. This is what it looks like. If the discs were made thin, they would look better than this.Purple Rose Mantou Make Tips
I steam them on the drawer while cooking. My purple potatoes are also steamed while cooking. Personally, I think it saves energy. However, steaming steamed buns should still be steamed separately, because the cooking steam is not enough and it will become a little sticky. You can also cut carrots into thin strips instead of the cores made of purple potato flour
