- Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling
- Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onion and ginger, and sauté until golden.
- Add minced chicken, soy sauce, chili powder, black pepper, cinnamon powder, and salt.
- Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly dry. Set aside to cool.
Step 3: Assemble the Buns
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6-8 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion into a small circle and place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center.
- Seal the edges and shape it into a round bun.
Step 4: Bake the Buns
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
- Brush the tops with a little milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the buns turn golden brown.
