Pork and cowpea buns with mixed grains, soft, fragrant and appetizing~
Tips:
1. The amount of bean paste can be adjusted according to the taste, it can be more or less, use homemade seasoning to adjust the flavor first, and then add the cowpea to mix together;
2. The blanched cowpea will have a lot of juice after being chopped. If there is a lot of meat, it can be directly mixed into the meat filling. Like I use less meat filling, so I need to squeeze water and then mix the filling to prevent the soup from being affected. The rise and taste of the buns;
3. The gluten content of miscellaneous grains is low, so don't use all miscellaneous grains, but use half of all-gluten flour.
