Chinese Stuffed Bao Bun

Originally they are from China but in Nagaland also they are very famous.Even Kunal Kapoor once shown this in Master-chef Class.

I made them today at our breakfast,these were so soft in texture and healthier too,we simply love them..they can be made even without stuffing !! Just make sure to make at the time of serving as they are good only when warm otherwise you will get very chewy texture which will convert your hit into complete miss...
