Hello 👋 thanks again ☺️

[@MissYinKS]

I love all your videos esp chinese steamed buns! thanks for sharing the kaya filling, i made few times but the texture is quite watery and impossible to wrap inside. I am going to try your recipe, look super good! keep up the good work

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Thank you very much yah 😁 yes Kaya usually not easy to wrap. Do try my recipe. It’s easy to wrap but make sure you cook the Kaya until you get the thick gooey consistency. Thank for your support

[@MissYinKS]

Hi hi thank you very much for your support ☺️ . I used salted butter. Forgot to write . Thanks for asking 😊

I have duck eggs ( laying season yeah!) si I am planning to make these along with the custard buns. However I am wondering if you have any Idea on how to use/recycle the ducki egg whites? I hate throwing food away ☹️

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Yay 😁! Sounds great. I’ve not tried with duck eggs. Hopefully it turns out great too. I’m not sure what to do with the egg whites though 😅

Hello thanks for sharing. I was wondering if there are any other substitutes for the wheat starch other than the corn starch? Thanks

Oh can try tapioca starch. I didn’t try with this recipe but can try ☺️

Can replace 35gm wheat starch to Hong Kong pau flour.

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi can replace with corn starch

[@charlenek3839]

Hi there, May I check with you, I noticed yr custard bun recipe, the wheat starch u used 60g , for this recipe it’s only half the amt , May I check which recipe do you personally prefer? And by adding more wheat starch, what’s the difference it will yield ? Thank you in advance

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi there yes good observation. The wheat starch makes it more fine texture but when the bun is left at room temperature, the bun will be left soft compared with the bun with less wheat starch. Also for the custard bun recipe I used I “unbleached” Hong Kong flour. So I added more wheat starch to make the texture more fine. If you use the “bleached” flour like Prima “Fairy” Hong Kong flour then you only need 35 grams wheat starch. Hope this helps. If you need to clarify anything else let me know ☺️

[@charlenek3839]

@@ruyiasianrecipes Thk u so much for taking time to reply ,I will try it later using the lesser wheat starch ❤️

Hi there. If I don’t have Hong Kong flour, can I use All-Purpose Flour (APF)? If yes, how much APF and how much wheat starch?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi if you use all purpose flour, please follow the dough recipe here in the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPSk6Znmdxmn5o

[@sanjuthahantanachaikul4027]

How’s different steam with pre-boiled water and not pre boiled. Bc I notice that you have two methods.

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi if you use normal plain flour the outcome is better with not pre boiled water. With Hong Kong flour, better with boiled water.

Is it possible to use stand mixer instead..?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

I tried with stand mixer but the buns not that soft. Maybe my stand mixer not good. Definitely can try.

[@francesrao2720]

Hi, as I have kaya paste on hand, what should I do to make it suitable for this bun filling? Thank you.

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Sorry for the late response. I’ve not tried with existing kaya paste, usually it’s more runny. If the consistency is thick you can follow the method. If is is quite runny, you can thicken it by adding cornstarch or tapioca starch . Dilute the cornstarch in some water then add to the kaya paste. Cook on the stove until the paste thickens.

[@francesrao2720]

@@ruyiasianrecipes Thank you, I use it directly and it's quite good!

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

That’s great! So glad it went well thanks for trying

Wanted to make custard bun but my family vote for kaya bun instead,it turn out so 👍 My family like the bun to be abit chewy and soft so I added some plain flour,it turn out super nice❤️ This recipe is definitely a keeper🙋

Hai me again 😂 for the dough can i use castor sugar instead of icing sugar? If can, same amount as icing sugar or lesser ?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Oh hi 👋 yes you can but icing sugar makes it softer cos it has some cornstarch in it. If you use castor sugar, can use same amount or less.

Hi, thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Quick question: why do we have to separate the coconut milk cooking step? I wonder if we can mix coconut milk directly into the eggs and then cook them at once to avoid possible errors in cooking the yolks. Many thanks in advance!

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hello 👋 happy you like it ☺️ if add the eggs straight into the coconut milk and cook together have to use very low heat or double boil to avoid the eggs from cooking and become not smooth. If you pour the semi hot coconut milk into the eggs it’s like tempering effect when you pour back into the pot the eggs won’t clump up and the kaya will be smooth hope this helps explain ☺️

Is it using large eggs ?
