1. Make the Dough

• In a bowl, mix warm water and sugar.
• Stir in yeast and let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly. This step activates the yeast, a crucial part of making the dough rise.

2. Combine Ingredients

• In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture, flour, vegetable oil, and salt until a dough forms.
• The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

3. Knead

• On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, around 8-10 minutes.
• Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour. This allows the dough to double in size.

4. Shape the Buns

• Punch down the dough to remove excess air.
• Roll into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces.
• Shape each piece into a bun and place on a parchment-lined tray with space in between to prevent sticking.

5. Steam

• Steam the buns for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
• Let them cool completely. This step ensures the buns are soft and fluffy.

6. Fry

• Heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F).
• Fry the cooled buns for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. Serve

• Drizzle the warm buns with condensed milk and enjoy!
