Add margarine and salt and mix all ingredients by hand until a smooth dough is formed. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, divide the dough into about 10 portions or about 45 grams each. Shape the dough into balls
Line a cutting board or slime with parchment paper and then flatten the dough that has been shaped into several circles to form an oval using a rolling pin.
Place the cut parchment paper on top of each flattened dough and fold it so that the parchment paper is on the inside of the dough. This is so that the pao skin does not stick when folded and can be filled with filling. Leave it for about 20 minutes.
Prepare and heat the steamer then steam the pao skin mixture for about 15 minutes.
After the pao skins are cooked, remove and remove the parchment paper from each pao skin.
Put the stuffing into the skin of the pao until evenly distributed, serve.
