Lift up each circle, fold such that it forms a "The" shape but do not press. Be as gentle as you can. Keep the tray covered with a cloth in a warm place for the buns to proof for 30 mnts.
- Transfer to a steamer and let them steam for 12 to 15 minutes. Your buns will look like as shown in the picture.
- In a wok add ginger garlic paste, Sizzle till fragrant. Add in the sauces and simmer till bubbles appear. Turn the flame to high and add the chicken strips. Stir and cook on high only so the chicken does not release water and remains tender. No water should remain. Turn off the heat and start assembling.
