Super Simple Steamed Mantou are soft northern Chinese steamed buns designed for dipping into rich sauces like Singapore chilli crab or hearty curries. This Super Simple Steamed Mantou recipe focuses on kneading for elasticity, short resting times and a clever layered dough technique that creates delicate internal strands perfect for soaking up sauce.
Mantou are traditionally plain steamed buns, sometimes deep fried in Singapore to serve alongside chilli crab. The key is achieving a smooth, elastic dough with a soft Play-Doh texture before shaping and steaming.

Hong Kong Style Congee is a traditional Cantonese rice porridge made by slowly cooking rice in a large amount of liquid until the grains burst and release their starch. This Hong Kong Style Congee recipe follows the classic method of soaking rice in oil before simmering, creating a silky, smooth texture that forms the perfect base for savoury toppings and condiments.
Congee is commonly eaten for breakfast in Hong Kong, but it is equally comforting at any time of day. The beauty of congee lies in its simplicity. A well made base can be served plain or topped with preserved vegetables, pickled ginger, crispy shallots or even Chinese dough sticks for added texture.
