Waterless melon and chestnut buns
This idea is not mine, whose is it?

That day, I asked my baby if it was okay to make stuffing with red dates? But the baby didn't agree and shouted that he wanted to eat chestnut stuffing!

Coincidentally, there were cooked five-spice chestnuts at home that day. They were peeled and rolled slightly to make stuffing. Baby, I really love them.

I ran out of chestnuts, and I had the egg liquid left over from making pizza, cooked corn kernels and green beans, so I used them all. The dough was rolled into a rectangular cake, the surface was brushed with the egg liquid, and the cooked corn kernels and green beans were sprinkled on it., rolled up, cut into sections, and steamed----the method is simple and no need to follow the steps.

  • Waterless melon and chestnut buns Make Tips

    1. The melon dough is a combination of cooked melon and flour. Because the water content of melon is relatively high, there is no need to add additional water. 2. The addition of flour alkali can be based on experience, or you can gradually add it and smell the taste until the sourness disappears; or tap to listen to the sound. The kneaded dough is a bit similar to the sound of tapping cooked watermelon. 3. After steaming, simmer for 3 minutes and then repan. The finished product will not be easy to retract.
