Black Sesame Beans

Put the ground black sesame seeds in a bowl, add the white sugar and mix. Add the lard and honey in that order and mix well

Remove to a tray and let rest in the refrigerator for about an hour

Prepare the basic steamed bun dough. Roll out the dough into a log and cut into 30g pieces with a knife

Wrap 20g of the filling from step [2] in the same way as you would for a steamed bun.
Place them seam-side down on a steamer basket lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top of the steamed bun with egg white using the tip of a rolling pin, then add the black sesame paste for the finishing touch.
Allow the dough to rise for the second time at room temperature until it doubles in size. If you are in a hurry, you can use the proofing function of an oven or place it on top of a pot of water at about 40°C.
After the second rise, place the buns in a steamer with steam rising, cover, and heat over medium heat. Steam for about 8-10 minutes.
