Super juicy raw meat buns

~~When I was preparing the recipe for steamed buns, I was nervous - although I have a dim sum chef certificate, can I really teach you how to make steamed buns? It was not until I drank three bowls of wine and sang "Courage" loudly that I suddenly realized: the joy of food is to try it yourself! After all, homemade steamed buns are about the smell of fireworks, and you are not going to participate in a competition, so why bother? ~~In fact, every time I look at the steamed buns just out of the pot, they are white and plump, and the thin skin and large fillings are full of fresh fragrance. Even the children in the neighborhood chase after me and say they want to learn from me! With the help of this wine and the enthusiasm of the children, I will serve the steaming hot tutorial here~ If it is not perfect, I hope you kitchen friends will bear with me! The recipe made 16.
