Flower roll / flower bun with spring onion 葱花卷

What do you like to have for breakfast? It seems like everyone in my family has different liking. Some prefer porridge, some prefer sandwiches, some prefer biscuits and chocolates (what?)...

Anyway, this is our freshly steamed flower rolls with spring onion, it will be our breakfast tomorrow. Simply store it in the fridge and steam it for 10 minutes before serving. It is very simple, the dough was fully hand kneaded and who knows, it might be the new favorite in your family too!

p/s: the super fussy one in my house loves this bun very much, she adores the flower shape especially. She enjoys peeling out the 'flower' strands and eat 'em up one by one. The joy of watching her gulping down the bun is priceless. You will only understand it if you too, have a fussy one at home. =p
