Prepare the blue butterfly pea flower steamed bun dough
Soak 10 butterfly pea flowers in 40ml of boiling water for 10 minutes, then strain this mixture through a sieve to collect the extract and let it cool.
Put 40ml of cooled butterfly pea flower water, 1g of yeast, and 10g of sugar into a bowl and stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Next, add 100g of steamed bun flour and knead until the dough becomes smooth. Then, cover the dough tightly and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Shape and steam the buns
You flatten two pieces of green and white dough in turn, then stack the white dough on top of the green dough and roll it up.
Next, use a knife to cut it into small pieces, depending on the size of the buns you want. Then, place each bun on a piece of parchment paper, wrap it tightly, and let it proof for about 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, place the buns in a steamer, set the steamer over a pot of boiling water, cover it tightly, and steam on high heat for 15 minutes.
Tip: To prevent the buns from becoming soggy, remember to cover the pot with a thin cloth before putting the lid on. This method will help prevent steam from dripping onto the buns while steaming.
