Asian bread crust

While I appreciate the crispy, GBD crust on more rustic breads, I am occasionally jonesing for an asian style bread. The kind that is light, airy and tender, with a soft and shiny crust. I've tried a few times, but so far I've failed. Any ideas on how to get this kind of crust?

try egg wash, a lower temperature, and a longer oven time for the crust.

From what I understand, Asian bread is made using a combination of rice flour and all purpose flour.
