1
Crack the egg into a bowl and beat lightly. Add sugar, vegetable oil, and milk in that order, mixing well after each addition.
2
Sift the pancake mix and matcha powder together into the wet ingredients, gently mixing until no lumps remain.
3
Finely chop two-thirds of the white chocolate and fold it into the batter, mixing well. Reserve the remaining one-third for topping.
4
Spoon the batter into heat-resistant containers, filling them about 80–90% full. Sprinkle the reserved white chocolate pieces on top of each.
5
Pour about 1 cm of water into a frying pan and bring it to a boil. Carefully place the containers of batter into the boiling water and cover with a lid.
6
Reduce heat to medium-low and steam for 10 minutes until the batter is completely cooked. If water level drops during steaming, carefully add more hot water and continue.
7
Turn off heat and remove the lid. Insert a toothpick into the center of a bun—if it comes out clean with no raw batter, they are done. Carefully remove the containers and let cool before serving.
