Char Siu Bao (Meat And Vegetable Buns)
Ingredients


YIELD 1 RECIPE





MIXTURE A



1 lb Ground pork or beef

1 tsp Garlic, minced

3 Tb Onion or leek, chopped

5 Dried mushrooms, soaked in water and chopped

1 lb Spinach or cabbage, boiled, drained, chopped

3 Tb Sesame oil

3 Tb Salad oil

4 Tb Soy sauce

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Sugar

2 Tb Wine

1/2 tsp MSG (optional)

++++++++++++++++++++++++-MIX TURE B++++++++++++++++++++++++-

8 cup Water

2 Tb Sugar

1/2 tsp Salt

3 Tb Oil

8 tsp Dry yeast

4 cup Warm water (more or less, according to quality of flour)

Preparation
Mix all A ingredients thoroughly in a bowl to form filling for buns. Mix dry yeast with water and add to flour. Add other B ingredients and knead into a soft dough. After dough is well kneaded, place in floured bowl and cover. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour in a warm place. When dough has risen, knead it again on a flour-sprinkled board and roll it into a long sausage. Cut sausage into 1-inch lengths, flatten these pieces, and roll each out to the size of a saucer to form wrapping. Put 1 tablespoon of filling in center of each wrapping, flute edges of wrapping, bring egdes together to form a sack, and seal by giving a slight twist and pinching with thumb and forefinger. Place buns in steamer rack on a wet cloth and steam for 15 to 20 minutes. Note: Leftover buns may be served after reheating, either by steaming or frying. The filling (A) may also be fried to produce an altogether different and delightful flavor. Source; Mrs. Ma's Chinese Cookbook by Nancy Chih Ma.
