Steamed Buns: A Tasty Treat for Breakfast or Snack
Steamed buns are a familiar and easy-to-make dish, perfect for breakfast or a light meal. With just a few simple ingredients and basic steps, you can create delicious steamed buns at home.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
300g all-purpose flour
5g active dry yeast (instant yeast)
150ml fresh milk (or warm water)
50g sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
For the filling:
150g ground pork
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1-2 hard-boiled eggs (cut into wedges)
1/2 carrot, finely chopped
Seasonings: broth mix, pepper, sugar
Instructions:
1. Prepare the dough:
Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm milk, let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually pour in the yeast mixture and knead until you form a smooth, non-sticky dough.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
2. Make the filling:
Combine ground pork, onion, carrot, and seasonings. Shape into small balls, and insert a piece of egg yolk into the center of each ball.
3. Shape the buns:
Divide the dough into equal portions, and roll each portion into a round shape.
Place a filling ball in the center of each dough round, and pinch the edges together to seal and form a nice round shape.
4. Steam the buns:
Place the buns on wax paper to prevent sticking, and arrange them in a steamer basket.
Steam the buns for about 20-25 minutes over medium heat.
Tip:
For whiter buns, add a teaspoon of vinegar to the steaming water.
For a sweet variation, replace the savory filling with red bean paste or taro.
With these simple steps, you can enjoy freshly made, soft, and fluffy steamed buns. Impress your family with this delicious treat today!
