  1. Hi Elaine,

    I’m a bit stuck at the moment.

    I don’t think you have worded your instructions properly and that you could include more pictures or even better. A video to show how you fold baozi, because I find it challenging to follow these instructions.

    1. Thanks for the suggestion, I found it is quite hard for me to describe the steps in words. I will upload a video after the trip to Shanghai. If you cannot make it pretty, just seal them and you are ok with the buns.
