Directions
Classic Manapua (Steamed Buns Hawaiian Style), Manapua or Baozi or Steamed Bun – whatever name you chose to call them, delicious they are!! Commercial versions have fillings like chicken mushroom, chicken curry, teriyaki chicken or beef, shoyu chicken, purple yam (ube), pork hash (bola bola), and lup choung. Some Hawaiian manapua makers offer pizza filled, turkey melt, ham and cheese omelet, teriyaki burger and spicy sausage. Imagine the flavors you could fill with your manapua. Have fun and enjoy!! NOTE: Times do not include proofing time for the dough., love this recipe so easy, Used this manapua recipe on New Year’s Eve and day. I found it easy to use and the dough came out perfectly and was easy to handle unlike a previous recipe used. Only bump I experienced was dough rise time. I didn’t see how long the rising would take until too late so had to make them next day. I would suggest moving those details to the top of your recipe instructions. Mahalo for the ono recipe!
