To make Shrimp and Chive Steamed Buns, you will need the following ingredients:

For the dough:

For the filling:

- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup chopped chives
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
To start, make the dough by combining the flour, warm water, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the filling by combining the shrimp, chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Place a spoonful of the shrimp filling in the center of each disc, then gather the edges and pinch to seal.
Place the buns on a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes, until the buns are puffed and cooked through.
