Mantou (Steamed Bun)

Mantou is well loved by many Asians. I am sharing my mantou recipe here so that you can easily make your own whenever you need them.  For those who are not familiar with mantou, you can eat it on its own, dip it in sauces or in creamy soup, slice it lengthwise and fill it with meat like a sandwich.
