Hi Marcia, I'm very eager to try out this recipe as I've just made my own red bean paste. Just curious, when you put the filling on one piece of circular dough, do you cover it with another piece to form a flatten bun or you just use that one piece of dough to seal up the bun?

Unknown said...

kristie-oh,i use the one piece dough to form a small ball.I don't use another piece of dough.yes you are right,just like sealing a bun.LOL sorry for the confusing :)
