Steamed bun


steamed bun
Steamed bun dough
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking powder optional
1/2 tbsp yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
water

Combine yeast and sugar in warm water. When the mixture froths add all the ingredients and knead to a smooth dough. Leave the dough 1/2 hour.

Make small balls, roll it thin and put the cooled filling. Using your fingers bring the dough together pinching the centre.

Place the buns about 2 inches apart and steam for about 10 minutes in a steamer lined with banana leaf, wax paper or cabbage leaves. The buns are cooked if it has become big and the colour has changed. I use a food steamer, steamer over the stove and sometimes the steamer in a rice cooker. Serve it hot on it is own or with hot sauce.

Filling
1 cup vegetables such as carrots, sprouts, cabbages chop or grate small
1/4 cup chicken, meat or shrimp cooked cut small optional
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp soya sauce
1/4 tsp chillie powder

Marinate the vegetables in soya sauce and chillie powder. Heat oil and stir fry. Cool before filling buns.

    it is easy to make the steamed buns, the dough is very simple and so is the filling You just have to pinch the tops tight together and steam

  16. How much water do you use when you are making the dough?

  17. I haven't put the amount of water to add because you have to add water slowly just enough to make a smooth dough, first froth the yeast in 1/4 cup water use that then if need be add a tsp of water at a time
