Today, I will share my recipe for sweet red bean steamed buns called Hobbang or Jjinbbang in Korean. The name is kind of cute and funny and the meaning of the names also makes sense. When we eat this hobbang in Korea, it is usually on cold days in the winter. We need to be careful not to burn ourselves when we eat this hot steamed bun. So, to cool it down, we will blow the hot steam from the bun like this.. “ho~~ ho~~ ho~~” so the name for hobbang came from it. Ho is the sound we make, and bbang is bread in Korean. Jjin means an additive word from Jjida which means steam and again bbang means bread, so steamed bread is jjinbbang or hobbang. You will be surprised to see how easy it is to make these authentic and delicious steamed buns at home with your own hands.

Main Ingredients:
Instructions
Step 1
Add 1 cup of warm water, 2 Tbsp of sugar, and 2¼ tsp active dry yeast to a mixing bowl of a mixer.
Step 2
Then add 2½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 Tbsp softened butter.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients and knead the dough with a mixer or your hands for about 5 minutes. Start your mixer at a slow speed and gradually increase the speed.
Step 4
After kneading the dough, cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 10 minutes. While the dough is resting, we can prepare the other things.
Step 5
For the filling, we need about 1 cup of sweet red bean paste called “patang-geum”, in Korean. You can use pre-made ones from a store like this one.
Step 6
Or you can try my homemade red bean paste recipe. You can check the recipe here. I will divide the bean paste into 8 portions. One portion is about 2 Tbsp which is about 1 oz.
Step 7
Take each portion of the bean paste and make it into a little ball. Do the same thing for the rest of it to make 8 red bean balls.
Step 8
Start to boil water for a steamer.
Step 9
After 10 minutes, take out the dough and divide it into 8 pieces. Divide it in half, then in half again, and finally divide them one more time in half. Quickly form each piece of the dough into a ball.
Step 10
Next, I will prepare some wax paper to put on the bottom of each bun. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the steamer. Cut nine 4x4 inch wax paper squares.
Step 11
Flatten 1 dough ball to make some space for the bean paste ball. Place a bean paste ball in the center of the flattened dough.
Step 12
Wrap the red bean paste with the dough and seal the dough tightly. This way, the bean paste will not come out while you are steaming the buns. (Please check how to do this in the video.)
Step 13
Put the sealed part face down on the wax paper. Do the same thing for the rest of the dough to make 8 buns.
Step 14
Wrap your lid for the pot with a kitchen towel to help create a smoother surface on the steamed buns. The steam can turn into water and drop onto your buns and making them wrinkly.
Step 15
When the water for the steamer is boiling, place 3 or 4 of the buns in the steamer. Make sure the buns have some spaces between them because they get bigger later.
Step 16
Cover the lid and steam for about 15 minutes on high.
Step 17
After 15 minutes, you can see your buns became bigger and fluffy. Take the steamer off the stove and let it cool a little bit.
Step 18
Take out your steamed buns. Steam the rest of your buns in the same way. Wow, it looks so beautiful and delicious. I want to give you some to try right now.
