Purple Sweet Potato Spiral Mantou 紫薯螺旋馒头

This Purple Sweet Potato Spiral Mantou is easy to make and so appealing to eyes. My sons don't like to eat "kosong" buns ( without fillings buns), so I added red bean paste for the filling.

Note: 

• I made 12 pieces and the buns seems not stable sittng on the steamer because a bit too thin slice. So I suggested make it into 10 pieces (thicker slice), so the buns can sitting nicely on the steamer.
