– place the buns on a steamer and cook them covered for exactly 20 minutes.
– At this point, the buns supposed to open easily. Stuff them with some meatballs and crispy potatoes for extra crunchiness.

P.S: if you don’t have a double steamer, you can make your own at home. Just place a pot ,full half through with simmering water, beneath a strainer. Make sure that the strainer larger than the pot so it doesn’t fill inside the pot . Line the strainer with coffee filter sheets and place the buns on top, then cover tightly with a lid. Here you go! 

Enjoy!
