Although Meimei is a southerner and does not have the habit of steaming steamed buns, it is a good luck for the New Year. Let’s make a blessed bun for the new year!
The golden color of the dough made from pumpkin puree matches the shape of a lucky bag. In order to let the children eat more vegetables, I used a small pumpkin, and it turned out to have only a milky aroma without a hint of pumpkin. It is very suitable for children who don’t like pumpkins.

In fact, this steamed bun can also be made into steamed buns, and it is also delicious with red bean paste or custard filling on the bread. The fried red bean paste at home is always very popular. The red bean paste bread made will be eaten in a while, so I just make milk-flavored buns.

Ingredients

Fukubukuro Mantou

1. Wash the carrots and squeeze them in a juicer. Take 110 grams of carrot juice, add yeast powder and mix well.

2. Pour all the ingredients in the main ingredient into the carrot juice, stir it with chopsticks to form a flocculent, then knead it into a uniform dough, put it in a warm place, ferment to twice its size, and put it on the cutting board to exhaust.

3. Divide the dough equally into 8 portions.

4. Knead one by one to form a smooth round dough.

5. Take a dough and roll it into a circle with a rolling pin. Gently press four equal parts with a scraper, being careful not to break, as long as there is a mark.

6. Cut three times at 2/3 of the pressure line as shown in the picture.

7. Pinch the triangle.

8. Press to the center.

9. All four corners are well done.

10. Place the two opposite corners toward the center of the four left sides. The other two are also placed in the center.

11. Finally, use the thicker end of the chopsticks to press it. Not only does the shape look good, the noodles are also firmer and not easy to fall apart.

12. Make eight small blessing bags separately and ferment them in a steamer to 1.5 times their size. Gently press the side of the lucky bag with your hand, and feel that the dough is loose and fermented. You can also hold up a blessed bag of dough, put it in your palm, and feel the dough is lighter than before, and you can steam it in the basket. (Be careful to hold the baking paper and pick it up, don’t grab the dough directly, it will ruin the shape

13. After the second hair is finished, boil the water, steam it on high heat for 15 minutes and simmer for 3 minutes. The beautiful shape is especially suitable for the Spring Festival.

Tips:
In winter, the temperature is low, and the room temperature is not easy to ferment. You can use warm water to create a suitable dry and wet environment to speed up the fermentation time. The second heating can also be carried out in the steamer. The second heating is in place, and the steamed pasta tastes the best.
The shape is relatively simple, but it is also more suitable for the occasion. If it is steamed in a pot during the Chinese New Year, is it auspicious and wishful? Give it a try.
