Making cade filling
In a large bowl, add 2 eggs, 20g of granulated sugar, 20g of custard powder, 1/5 teaspoon of salt, and 40g of cornstarch, and mix the ingredients well until they are fully dissolved.
Add 60g of unsalted butter to a pot along with 60g of condensed milk and 60g of coconut milk, place it on the stove over high heat until the butter is completely melted, stirring continuously to ensure the ingredients blend together and avoid burning the mixture at the bottom of the pot. When the mixture starts to simmer and you see steam rising, remove it from the heat.
Gradually pour the coconut milk mixture into the egg mixture while stirring vigorously to prevent the eggs from curdling, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the aroma, and adjust the sweetness to taste.
Pour the egg milk mixture back into the pot, place it on low heat, and stir continuously for about 8 – 10 minutes until the mixture thickens, no longer sticks to the pot, and forms a smooth, sticky mass. Turn off the heat and remove the mixture from the stove to cool.
Divide the cade filling into small portions, each weighing 20g, roll them into balls and place them on a plate, then cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
Tip:- If you are worried about the mixture curdling, you can wait for the coconut milk mixture to cool before pouring it into the egg mixture. However, the warmth of the coconut milk mixture will help cook the eggs more and eliminate the raw egg smell.
- To prevent the egg milk mixture from cooking too quickly and curdling, you should slowly pour in the warm coconut milk mixture in small amounts while stirring continuously.
- If the mixture curdles, you can strain it through a strainer for a smooth and clear mixture.
- For a delicious cade filling, you should prepare it about 2-3 hours in advance, then transfer the filling to a bowl to cool, and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent steam from the warm mixture from condensing and dripping onto the filling, making it less tasty.
- To make the mixture stick together and firm up for easier rolling, wait for it to cool slightly and then place it in the refrigerator for about 1 – 2 hours.

Mixing and kneading the dough
Put 300g of flour, 20g of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of yeast into a bowl, mix well so that all the ingredients blend together. Add 190ml of chilled unsweetened milk into the bowl and mix until the milk is fully absorbed by the flour.
When the dough is dry and has absorbed all the milk, knead it for about 10 minutes until the dough is cohesive, soft, and smooth. Divide the dough into 16 equal parts, each weighing 30g, and there’s no need to let the dough rise. Place the dough on a tray and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
Tip: To have soft, fluffy, and chewy buns, you should use low-protein flour as it will yield better dough than all-purpose flour.
-
Shaping the buns
Take each piece of dough out, knead it until it becomes soft, then use a rolling pin to flatten the dough and fold it in half, rotate the piece of dough and continue to roll it flat. Repeat the above step 3 times for a smooth and soft dough.
After rolling the dough to be smooth and soft, evenly roll the edges to thin the dough into a flat square shape, making the edges a little thinner than the center. Then, place 1 piece of filling in the center and seal the dough tightly around the filling, trimming off any excess dough. Roll the bun by cupping it in both palms to smooth its surface.
Tip: The excess dough when sealing the bun can be mixed with food coloring or other ingredients to shape decorations for the buns according to your preferences or to make small balls of dough without filling.
-
Steaming Cake
You cut a piece of parchment paper, punch many small holes, line it in the steaming basket, and then place the cakes on top, spacing them out. Let the cakes rise at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius for about 15 – 20 minutes; after this time, you should see the cakes puff up a little, and when you touch the cakes, the skin feels tight, soft, and smooth, which is perfect.
Put a pot of boiling water on the stove over medium heat; when the water is boiling vigorously, place the cake basket on top to steam for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, turn off the heat, lift the basket from the pot, keeping the lid on to let the cakes sit in the residual heat for another 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, slowly open the lid of the basket and take the cakes out. The soft, fragrant, and lovely steamed buns are ready to enjoy!
Tip:- To prevent the cakes from deflating after steaming, after 7 minutes of steaming, do not immediately open the lid but let them sit to reduce the temperature.
- To achieve a smooth and tight skin on the finished cakes, after allowing the cakes to rest for 5 minutes, slowly open the lid of the basket to let the cakes cool down a bit before taking them out.

How to choose delicious coconut milk
- Coconut milk can be found at traditional markets or bought in cans at supermarkets, stores in the TasteVN system, or purchased online at bachhoaxanh.com.
- If buying freshly squeezed coconut milk, you should pay attention to the color of the milk; if it is white and has a naturally rich aroma, it is good.
- If buying canned coconut milk, make sure to check the packaging and the expiration date printed on the product!
- Additionally, you can also make rich and smooth coconut milk right at home through the recipe shared by TasteVN.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken eggs
- Eggshell: You should choose eggs with a thin white powder layer on the outside; they feel rough or heavy to the touch as these are fresh eggs. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it means the chicken eggs have been stored for a long time and are not good.
- Shine a light: When shining a light on chicken eggs, if you see a small air chamber, a round yolk that does not move, and a transparent egg white with orange-red or light pink color, it indicates fresh eggs. Conversely, old eggs will have a red color with many moving veins surrounding a large air chamber.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg next to your ear and shake gently; if you hear a sound, it is an old egg that has been stored for too long. If you do not hear anything and feel the egg moving strongly, it is a rotten egg, and the chicken is in the process of hatching.
How to store cade buns
- Cade buns are best enjoyed when freshly made and eaten hot right after steaming.
- After shaping the buns, you can put them in the freezer to store for 2 – 3 months. When you want to eat them, take them out to thaw and then steam again.
- If stored in the refrigerator’s cool compartment, the buns can be consumed within 1 week.
