To make these Lotus Seed Paste Steamed Buns, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup lotus seed paste

To start, mix the flour, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Slowly add in the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Place a spoonful of lotus seed paste in the center of each disc and wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
Place the buns on a piece of parchment paper and let them rest for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and place a steamer basket on top. Once the water is boiling, place the buns in the steamer basket and steam for 10-12 minutes.
Once the buns are cooked, they should be puffy and soft to the touch. The lotus seed paste filling will be warm and creamy, with a subtle sweetness that complements the fluffy bun perfectly.
