MUAZI BUNS [STEAMED BUNS WITH MOCHI FILLING]

This steamed bao recipe is quite similar to my Carrot Tau Sar Mua Chee Pau which has cooked glutinous rice flour as filling.

The recipe here has glutinous rice flour dough wrapping the sweet tau sar or lotus seed paste, then use as filling for the baos.
Not difficult to make if you are already familiar in making steamed baos or kuih ee.

Verdict - the skin dough is soft and easy to handle.  The muazi and tau sar filling is soft and chewy if the paus are served immediately after steaming.  The pandan aroma is quite distinct.
