Steamed Buns
Steamed buns are a staple food for Chinese people who live in the northern part of China because wheat is mostly grown there.
It's simple to make steamed buns. Use wheat flour, water and a certain amount of yeast to make a dough and wait for the dough to ferment. Then knead the fermented dough with dry wheat flour and make the dough into many small bun blanks and wait for them to ferment a second time. When the bun blanks are well fermented, place them in a wok and steam them.
When the buns are finished being steamed, they become bigger than they were when they were blanks, and inside them, there are many tiny air bubbles, making steamed buns taste soft and delicious.
Although they are a staple food for most Chinese people, people couldn't eat them before the early eighties, especially those who lived in the countryside.
Before 1982, people in the countryside didn't farm based on family units; instead, many families farmed together as a production team, which led to the fact that no one really worked hard and the wheat yield was very low.
At that time, people could only eat steamed buns made of wheat flour during the traditional Chinese New Year or when they visited their relatives.
About two or three days before Chinese New Year's Eve, my mom started making steamed buns. She made two or three old-fashioned large red ceramic basins of dough, which was enough to make five or six large iron woks of steamed buns.
It is the coldest time of the year where I live during the traditional Chinese New Year, so the steamed buns won't go bad, and they are expected to be enough to eat for the first fifteen days of the year.
When steaming steamed buns before the traditional Chinese New Year, I liked to stoke the earthen stove. I liked to smell the steamed buns' scent when they were almost done and see the scene when my mom removed the lid from the wok.
In 1982, people in the countryside no longer farmed together due to a new rural policy. They started farming based on family units. They were assigned farmland and started working for their own families. In the same year, they could eat steamed buns made of wheat flour on ordinary days.
Steamed Buns
Use wheat flour, water, and a certainspecified amount of yeast to make a dough and, then wait for ithe dough to ferment.
Make sure that you are separating lists of actions or items properly. This is the format you should usually use: Item1, item2, and item3. Also, watch out for commas. Try to read the sentence after and see if you take a break while saying it. When you take a break, that is a good spot for putting commas. This technique has helped me a lot.
Then knead the fermented dough with dry wheat flour and make the dough, break it into many small bun blanks, and wait forlet them to ferment a second time.
Try to refrain from using words too much in one sentence; this sentence had the word dough too many times. You can replace words you need to repeat with "it", "him/her", etc. Additionally, make sure that if you have a list of actions or items, you separate them with a comma and only put an "and" before the last item/action.
When the buns are finished being steamed, they become bigger than they were when they were blanks, and inside them, there are many tiny air bubbles, making the steamed buns taste soft and delicious.
Steamed buns should have a "the" before it because you are specifying a noun.
Feedback
Overall, you have a great vocabulary and sense of grammar. Just watch out for commas and learn to properly separate lists.
