Don't steam steamed bread with hot water. Many people like to steam steamed buns with hot water or boiled water, thinking that it will drive fast. Actually, this is unscientific. Because cold steamed bread suddenly meets hot air and the surface is bonded, it is easy to make steamed bread sandwich. The correct way is to add cold water to the pot, put the steamed bread in it, and then heat it, so that the steamed bread is evenly heated, soft and delicious.
