Apart from a piece of plain dough, what else would you think of when you were eating Mantou? Have you ever asked why it is called 饅頭? It took me a few minutes to learn its history online. Do a quick research! You will be amazed by the story and you will surely think of 諸葛亮 every time you eat steamed buns.

Instead of a fake human head, today I have used the same ingredients to make fake carrots and radishes. With the same recipe, you can dye your dough with different colours of vegetable puree and create your own mantou figures. A mantou won't be a boring mantou anymore if we give a little bit more thought to the design. :)
