-B++++++++++++++++++++++++-
8 c Water
2 Tb Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
3 Tb Oil
8 ts Dry yeast
4 c Warm water (more or less,
- according to quality of
- flour)

Mix all A ingredients thoroughly in a bowl to form filling for buns. Mix
dry yeast with water and add to flour. Add other B ingredients and knead
into a soft dough. After dough is well kneaded, place in floured bowl and
cover. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour in a warm place. When dough has
risen, knead it again on a flour-sprinkled board and roll it into a long
sausage. Cut sausage into 1-inch lengths, flatten these pieces, and roll
each out to the size of a saucer to form wrapping. Put 1 tablespoon of
filling in center of each wrapping, flute edges of wrapping, bring egdes
together to form a sack, and seal by giving a slight twist and pinching
with thumb and forefinger. Place buns in steamer rack on a wet cloth and
steam for 15 to 20 minutes. Note: Leftover buns may be served after
reheating, either by steaming or frying. The filling (A) may also be fried
to produce an altogether different and delightful flavor. Source; Mrs. Ma's
