Time flies, today is the beginning of Autumn(solar term). Chinese tradition is to eat meat on this day, I think it is also possible to make steamed pork buns. Only pork fillings, no vegetables.

Put some sugar when fermenting dough, and don’t put too much yeast, the Baozi wrappers will taste better.
