So I tried the recipe, and it turned out great!! Thank you Inga :) For those who already tried it but buns turned out different, or those who never tried it yet, I have some tips: Dead yeast - Your yeast might be dead if there's no foaming or bubbling, and it could be dead if it's expired and kept opened for too long. Without the alive yeast, the dough won't double and become soft and fluffy. (NOTE: If you think your yeast is dead, it could just need more time to activate. Wait for 15 - 20 minutes. If there's absolutely no foam or bubbles, it's dead. Throw the mixture away because why waste the other precious ingredients lmao. My mixture had minimal foaming, but it still expanded so please be cautious.) Also, your yeast could be alive but cold water killed or could kill it. The water used can't be boiling hot or cold. It should be warm enough that you can feel its warmer temperature, but shouldn't be hot till your finger hurts touching the water. Over kneeding/Under kneeding - I kneeded for around 8 minutes before putting in the oil and kneeded for 3 more minutes. Overkneeding would cause a effect on flavor AND texture. It would be dense, rough, and probably very odd-tasting. There's really no way to fix over-worked gluten, but you can let it rise and proof a little longer to loosen it up. Underkneeding would cause the dough to collapse while steaming because of the under-worked gluten. This can be fixed easily if you're still kneeding the dough. Just kneed until you reached 10 minutes. Kneeding is so important as without it, the dough would come out as a sad blob. It would lose its strength and structure. Not using the exact ingredients/Not following the instructions exactly - This seems like a stupid topic to touch, but it is really, REALLY, REALLY important to watch the video and read the recipe throughly. Don't modify the recipe if you never made it before. Every ingredient in this recipe makes up the dough. Don't leave out the oil and sugar, don't substitute (UNLESS you have to), don't change it. If you want to use a different kind of flour, do it after you actually tried the recipe. If you want to add salt, do it after you tried it. No one can confirm the results if you change it. More notes: 1. I mainly followed the video as to the recipe in the description, because it's slightly different. 2. Inga never really specified how much water you should add into the steamer, but you could add 2 inches of water. This recipe gave me 2 batches, so if you also have 2, add a few more cups of water. Don't add too much though, as the water isn't cooking the buns, the steam from the water is lol. 3. If you're measuring the ingredients in cups, spoon and level the flour!!! Don't pack it in! If you do, there will be too much flour compared to the metric measurements. Fluff around the flour with a spoon and spoon it into the cup. Then scrape off excess flour with a butter knife. I hope these tips helped, and don't feel discouraged to make the buns, they are really easy and simple if you kind of know what you're doing :D
@@charkjake934 They taste the best if eaten warm, but you can put them in an airtight container and store in a fridge for around 3 days. Then just re-steam the buns and they'll taste the same as before :)
@@wellthen9552 We've made these for decades (we stuff them with chopped or cooked shredded BBQ pork or cooked ground beef/pork/onion with a little curry powder), they freeze well.
When you're excited you sound like an animated character or a Disney princess but when you're more calm I find your voice sooo soothing and pleasant to hear
Hi, I just wanted to say I come back to this video every time I make bao or mantou. I have a lot of food and texture aversions and I make this quite often because I love the flavor and texture. I would also like to mention that kneading the dough by hand for 13-15 minutes does wonders for my previously non-existent biceps! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I really love it
I bought a steamer and made these this week, they were delicious!! Thank you! I've been craving them for months and can't get to the place I used to buy them. My kids were equally as thrilled!
made these last night💕 they came out so good my grandma was so proud and my family devoured them:))))) I was so happy since it was my first time making them. I missed that taste of fresh mantou🥺
This was absolutely amazing! Your energy is so calming and infectious. I’m not the best cook but I’ve always loved steamed buns and never thought I could make them myself. This recipe seems so easy and the way you delivered it made me feel confident to try it myself someday! I loved your little interjections about how it made you think of your family and childhood. Food is one of the things that brings us together no matter how far apart we are, and it’s something that is so great to remember and see when we can’t be so close to each other right now. Thank you for this wonderful video ❤️
Great recipe, Inga! My kids took my phone and watched this video (I’d pulled up your other videos), and then my 3 year old came running over asking me to make it. Only thing I did different was add about 100g of whole wheat flour instead of making it all white. The kids LOVED them! Thank you!
This video is full of excellent tips (eg final 'proof' over warm water). I make the dough in the food processor to make this even easier and they always turn out fluffy. One of my favourite things is cooking these with my mum -- I make the dough and my mum makes the filling (eg pork, lupcheong and egg), so I guess this recipe will remind me of my mum now. Thank you!
I search the reciepe so long time, thank you! As I was a childhood, my in school Bestfriend was from China and she give me someday to try it to eat. Now, many years later, I think about it again and was searching how it called, because I know it was not so much ingredients. But I didn't know the name from it. Aww, I must try it! 😍🥰👍 Thank you! Greetings from Germany!
Istg I've been rewatching so many times and her voice is so comforting and she's always in a good mood. She should do like a podcast. P.s Love from Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬
i made these and they turned out amazing!! little tip, when adding the sugar to the water, add some salt too. it enhances the flavor and is amazing !! thanks for the recipe :)
I am making these tomorrow so I have been watching different videos for guidance. This video was by far one of the best ones I have seen. I can't wait to try this recipe. I will let everyone know how it goes!
In Austria we have something similar to this but it is filled with plum jam(powidl) and we call it germknödel Germ meaning yeast and Knödel meaning something like dumpling and we usually eat it with melted butter and grounded poppy seeds...
I tried this recipe today, I don’t have a mixer so I didn’t knead them dough as much as you. I got the spiral layers in my buns but I like the layers! Super satisfying to make my own buns! Thank you for sharing this receipt ! 😊
I tried these maybe a few days ago and it worked and I was soooo proud of myself for not burning them (yes, I have enough of a lack of talent to burn stuff in a steamer) Also, they were delicious and tasted exactly like the ones I usually get in Chinatown :) Thank you so much for the recipe! I will definitely be making these again :)
My friends were so happy. They thought I was facetiming with a girl. They got so sad to hear it's just a YT video, but we got to watch the video like a football match! Next week we're going to make some chinese buns xD
I just finished making this recipe and in my opinion it needs more sugar unless you are eating them in savory dishes. But they turned out fluffy and soft so thank you!
You have no idea how excited I get when I see you have uploaded a video! I love you voice it's so soothing and calming. I also enjoy that you get just as excited about food as me ❤ thankyou so so much for uploading.
Thankyou so much, I asked alix if she could make some but you came along, thankyou so much I miss eating these at the buffet I went to since my childhood I know im hispanic but they are so good especially with the sweet bean filling. Thankyou so much😁😁😁😁😁😁
I love this and I can’t wait to try! As far as yeast goes if you are using active dry yeast like in the video you don’t need to activate it in warm water and sugar. It is already active hence the name. When using active dry yeast adding it to the dries and just go ahead and mix as normal is all you need to do.
Hey, so I just discovered your channel a month ago and I really like your cooking! I tried making this recipe and my family loved it! I hope that I can make more of your recipes some other day! Thank you 😊
I made one today using this recipe! They are so fluffy and delicious 💕 Put my own spin by stuffing them with cheese, and some with dark chocolate. 🍫🧀😁💕
You are honestly the best person in BuzzFeed. Every time I see you smile I smile as well. You have a very magical personality. Don’t let anyone change you. You’re honestly very wholesome and nice. Keep up the good work!!!
here’s a joke i thought about a char siew bao and a mantou went to the movies to watch a sad show, the bao came out crying but mantou was fine, why is so? It’s because the bao has *feelings* and the mantou does not
Turn on subtitles for the end of video :)

Can you pls advise when using instant yeast? I tried twice and my dough is so hard and dense and dry before even kneading
Fluffier than my gudetama stuffed plushie
This is the best description I’ve ever seen
Inga Lam :0 you replied :D
She’s like a casual chef. She does things and they always come out amazing.
When you're excited you sound like an animated character or a Disney princess but when you're more calm I find your voice sooo soothing and pleasant to hear
Her voice is so calming 🥰❤️ and the buns look so good I’m going to try and make it like her
I believe in you!
"I would imagine this is what a baby butt feels like... that is inappropriate and we are not going to say that" xD cuteness overload :3

ASIAN SQUAD

We like our steamed buns like how we like girls, thicc
lots of love from Vietnam
❤️ I can’t wait to see you make these!
When she says it smells sooo good and places the steamed bun near thr camera, i honestly expected to smell something. 🤦♂️
I’m sorry 😂
AAAA I got a replyyy.
Love you Inga!! keep posting your videos, both here, and in Buzzfeed and Tasty too! All the way from the Philippines!
Lmao! It should work next time.. Scratch & sniff 😊😁
This is called siopao in the Philippines! You're so hardworking,Inga you make it from scratch!!!You're mom is so proud!
I bought a steamer and made these this week, they were delicious!! Thank you! I've been craving them for months and can't get to the place I used to buy them.
My kids were equally as thrilled!
I don't have a sweet tooth, I am not into buns/bread. But I love Inga's every single video - it's so healing and therapeutic 💕

I've had a pretty rough day but after this I feel so much better because her voice is so soothing and its so calming just watching her make food
My favourite little detail about this video is Inga’s shirt 😂
😛
ing ur right. Sooo cuteee

I will definitely try all of Inga's recipe right after I gather all the ingredients. And after quarantine here in the Philippines 🇵🇭. 😊

I thank the recommendation gods for bringing me here, I had no idea she had her own channel!!!! LOVE IT
I used to eat this when I am in primary school hehe with fried noodles
It tastes so gooddd
Thank you for sharing this video. You made the process look so easy. Will give it a try! Thanks!
In Austria we have something similar to this but it is filled with plum jam(powidl) and we call it germknödel

I made these, and they turned out wonderfully fluffy!!! And it is not hard to make either 10/10 would recommend.
:0
those buns are the best thing I have seen today
it also brings back childhood memories :3
Her voice is so good and that smile 😍. I don't cook but still watch her videos to listen to her voice and see her smile. 😍😍😍
My friends were so happy. They thought I was facetiming with a girl. They got so sad to hear it's just a YT video, but we got to watch the video like a football match! Next week we're going to make some chinese buns xD
You have no idea how long I've been wanting to make this steam bun. Thank you for sharing the recipes with us!
Anyone else hearing “East” and not “yeast” or am I impaired
Maddie Ben I swear she’s saying “east”!!?!? like you’re great honey but the Y is there for a reason
Then I'm impaired too
Yes she definitely said east lmao
I think it's an American thing? They say 'erbs' instead of 'herbs' as well.
Radha Niranjan nope I’m very much American and the Y in yeast is kinda necessary
Thank you for sharing WHY you do things. It helps me understand what to look for when I'm making the buns.
Love mantou! Looks amazing :D I'll have to try making it myself
I’ve made these twice - delicious!! This is the best steamed bun recipe on TH-cam :)
I only have Instant Yeast..do you think it'll still work?
WARNING: YOU WILL WANT TO MAKE THIS
This is why I watch TH-cam. Education Informational and Tasty.
I just finished making this recipe and in my opinion it needs more sugar unless you are eating them in savory dishes. But they turned out fluffy and soft so thank you!
I can literally sleep to Inga's voice 😴. Yo someone turn her videos into a mixtape so I can listen to it when I sleep
This is now what i bring to friendsgiving and they all love it. Thanks Inga
I like watching Inga's because I miss being in the kitchen as much as I used to. Xie xie!
Ive been searching for mantou buns for an hour in youtube this is the easiest one thank you ❤❤❤❤ have a great day
all these baos just remind me of the pixar short film “bao”🥰🥰 cute and fluffy
Literally had these for merienda yesterday, ate it with sweetened condensed milk. 10/10 would recommend.
You’re voice is so soothing.
You and Alvin should make large dumplings.
Don't you guys just love her?😁💜
You have no idea how excited I get when I see you have uploaded a video! I love you voice it's so soothing and calming. I also enjoy that you get just as excited about food as me ❤ thankyou so so much for uploading.
My teacher asking why I’m drooling while on the call
Lol
her personality is the cutest!!
I really like these with a litttle bit of soy sauce, I think jus the sweet of the bread and the salty really come together. I highlyyy recomend
Can we talk about how the filming of this video is so satisfying 🥺💙
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Inga: *"East"*
Grace Lee I was wondering why no one commented on that 😂😂😂
Cutest sandwich I ever seen in my life. Great work Inga, you da best!
Her kitchen and alvin’s kitchen are soooo similar
Maira Sharma HUH what if they live together?!
@@r_i_a_a2182 I tink so
I subscribed! And I don't know what's so satisfying about watching people make homemade buns but I love them.
I love Inga. She is like if an anime character became a real person
Thankyou so much, I asked alix if she could make some but you came along, thankyou so much I miss eating these at the buffet I went to since my childhood I know im hispanic but they are so good especially with the sweet bean filling. Thankyou so much😁😁😁😁😁😁
for anyone who wants to make this, these buns go so well with sweetened condensed milk :)
the vibes inga radiates are so calming
Omg literally just did this today myslef lol 😂
I love how relaxing she talks and looks
Inga do I freeze the mantous before or after steaming them first? Loved the video
Steam first, and then freeze! :)
Inga Lam Okie dokie
I made these tonight and it was such an easy recipe to follow. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!
I saw this and im like "YAS I CAN TOTALLY CONVINCE MY PARENTS TO MAKE THIS NOW"
she is so genuine and pure ahhhh
watching this video while fasting is a baad idea 😂
wii omg I’m doing the same thing 😂
Well, at least we have a new recipe for iftar
I love this and I can’t wait to try! As far as yeast goes if you are using active dry yeast like in the video you don’t need to activate it in warm water and sugar. It is already active hence the name. When using active dry yeast adding it to the dries and just go ahead and mix as normal is all you need to do.
Can't tell you how many times i've eaten the paper underneath a sio pao not knowing it was there.
I used to eat it as a child thinking that it tastes good and provided the bun texture. I don't know what was wrong with me. XD
Near 60k!! ❤️
I always watch Inga's videos because Inga's voice is so therapeutic ajd calming. in the end i always learn something from you.. love you
6:30 I actually tried to smell it
Hey, so I just discovered your channel a month ago and I really like your cooking! I tried making this recipe and my family loved it! I hope that I can make more of your recipes some other day! Thank you 😊
Your grandfather would be so proud
I made one today using this recipe! They are so fluffy and delicious 💕 Put my own spin by stuffing them with cheese, and some with dark chocolate. 🍫🧀😁💕
That's cool! How did the chocolate ones taste?
@@donnakona7615 They tasted great! Wish I had put more chocolate tho 😅😅
Does anyone thought his saying east instead of yeast or am i tripping?
She?
Want to say thank you for this incredible recipe! Truly something like grand mother would've made.
You've some great talent keep it up!
I like how she says yeast. Is it an accent thing, or do I say it wrong? 😅
You are honestly the best person in BuzzFeed. Every time I see you smile I smile as well. You have a very magical personality. Don’t let anyone change you. You’re honestly very wholesome and nice. Keep up the good work!!!
The bread is almost as fluffy as my cat 🤣
I made these today! First time making man tou. They came out so good!!! Thanks Inga!
Who else wants to eat Inga's buns?
Looks incredible Inga. You inspire me to make this!
you saying "east" low key triggered me
Bridget Chan they probably have their reasons for the way they pronounce yeast, no need to nitpick.
I'm hungover binge watching your videos! I love them so much ✨
The one dislike is the dude with a gluten allergy
Jay Liebenberg more like people who have a gluten allergy
✨Eee so cute Inga! I used to enjoy these with condensed milk lol! what a throwback ☺️❤️
here’s a joke i thought about a char siew bao and a mantou went to the movies to watch a sad show, the bao came out crying but mantou was fine, why is so? It’s because the bao has *feelings* and the mantou does not
I am happy I found this... thank you Inga Lam... you made me wanna give life a second chance...
I keep hearing her say east, instead of yeast
I tried this and it turned out pretty good. Thank you for the recipe.
I was more concerned abou how close her hair was to the dough.
They need to use inga’s voice in gps.. would use it every time I go somewhere even when I don’t need it.. her voice is so soothing 😌
Next time Pls tie your hair
Simply fabulous, the best steam bun recipe demonstration. Thank you very much 😊
