Mi Ku Pau

Mi ku pau is a kind of hokkien mantou, you may stuffed it with some lotus paste, or kaya or red bean paste or even nice to eat plain. I always steam it more and for the leftover, I will sliced it, dipped into egg-milk batter and pan-fried it. Or deep-freezed it and steam it again before consume.
