STEP 1

Knead the ingredients for the dough together with 75 ml of warm water for 10 minutes to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 45 minutes. The volume should double. Meanwhile, cut the spring onions into fine rings.

STEP 2

When the dough has approximately doubled its volume, it’s ready to roll out. Roll the dough on a well-floured work surface rectangular to about 1.5 mm thickness. Sprinkle with spring onions and salt. Roll up loosely.

STEP 3

Cut the roll into 12 pieces. Put two pieces on top of each other. Compress deep in the middle and crosswise to the cutting edge with a chopstick or the handle of a cooking spoon. Fold with your hands slightly in the other direction to create a fan shape.

STEP 4

Add 150 ml of water to a pizza pan. Arrange buns on the steamer with some distance. Close with the lid and cook for 8 minutes at 1000 W.

STEP 5

Divide broccoli into florets and remove stalks of snow peas. Season vegetables with salt. Add vegetables to the buns in the steamer and cook for another 8 minutes.

STEP 6

Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce.

STEP 7

Slice radishes into thin slices. Mi with rice vinegar and syrup and set aside.

Sprinkle buns and vegetables with sesame seeds. Serve with radishes and teriyaki sauce.
