Vietnamese steamed buns
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. In my version, the buns are filled with red beans, but you can use mushroom filling, garlic with herbs, or pâté. I suggest inviting your kids into the kitchen to enjoy this delicious creative activity together. The buns look bright and fun, so children will surely love them.
