Grind the purple rice into a coarse powder with a grinder, pour all the ordinary flour, purple rice noodles, sugar, and yeast into the basin, mix well, and then mix the ingredients evenly with chopsticks
2.
Knead the dough by hand, then lift the dough to the chopping board and knead it by hand to form a smooth dough (about ten minutes), then put it into the container, cover the lid and leave it to ferment in a warm place
3.
Until the dough has risen to twice its size (about one hour at 34°C), take out the fermented dough and knead it vigorously for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth again
4.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, roll it from top to bottom into a cylinder, stick a knife with some water, and cut the dough into 8 portions
5.
Then hold it in a bow shape and knead the dough until the surface of the dough is smooth (mine is not smooth enough)
6.
Pour cold water into the steamer, smear a little vegetable oil on the steaming rack, and place the raw steamed buns on the steaming rack

Cover the pot and let it stand for 20 minutes. Turn to medium heat and steam for 15 minutes after boiling the water. Do not open the lid immediately after steaming. Wait 2 minutes for the heat to dissipate before opening the lid.
