   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

4. Steam:

Nutritional Benefits

Miso Steamed Bun with Rice and Pea Flour is a gluten-free, protein-rich treat that’s great for a plant-based diet. Pea flour adds extra fiber and protein, while miso provides beneficial essential nutrients, such as amino acid and protein. This bun supports digestive health and offers sustained energy, making it a nutritious and satisfying option.

Tips:

• Pea flour can make the bread slightly denser, so if you prefer a lighter texture, you can experiment by reducing the amount of pea flour or increasing the baking powder slightly.

• The combination of pea and rice flour provides a good balance of nutrients, with pea flour adding extra protein and fiber.

• If you prefer extra sweetness, you can sprinkle some power sugar or alternative sweetness on the bun!
