Directions : Chinese Steamed Pork Buns/Baozi Recipe

STEP 1.Soak 3 oz dehydrated bok choy in warm water for 3 hours to rehydrate.

STEP 2.Trim the ends and discard. Finely chop the bok choy and keep aside.

STEP 4.1 heat wok and add 3 tbsp oil. Let it get hot. Add aromatics such as ½ tbsp ginger minced, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 finely diced shallot, 1 finely diced scallion. Saute till the shallots are translucent. Set it aside.

STEP 5.2 next add 1 lb ground pork and using spatula break the meat apart. Stir fry till the mince changes colour. Then add the aromatics with the mince and mix together well. Set aside.

STEP 6.3 there will be some meat juices left in the wok. Add 3 oz rehydrated finely chopped bok choy and stir fry till bok choy absorbs the juices. Mix the mince together with the bok choy.

STEP 7.4 next add 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 ½ tbsp chinese cooking wine, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp dark soy sauce. Mix together well with the mince and bok choy mixture. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. The filling should be a little more salty than usual as it will be filled in the bun.

STEP 8.5 for the bun wrapper, place 500 gms all purpose flour and add 1½ tsp baking powder.

STEP 9.6 in a smaller mixing bowl add 280 ml water, 1 tbsp sugar and 2 tsp dry yeast.stir so that the yeast is well distributed. Pour this yeast water into the flour in batches and mix with a pair of chopsticks simultaneously.

STEP 10.7 once the flour thickens and comes together, knead it by hand on a flat surface for 5 to6 minutes till the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 to8 minutes to allow the gluten to relax a little.

STEP 11.8 poke a hole in the centre of the dough and use that to stretch the dough into a big ring (like a doughnut). Cut the ring open and the dough can be stretched out like a long log. Dust it with flour and roll it to make an evenly thick log.

STEP 12.9 portion the dough into 12 even measures. Dust the pieces with flour and cover them to prevent them from drying.

STEP 13.10 take1 portion of dough and press it with the heel of the palm and then fold it in half. Repeat this method of kneading till the dough gets a smooth elastic surface. Turn the smooth elastic surface upwards and using both hands shape the dough into a round ball from the base.

STEP 14.11 work fast to knead and make the rest of the balls as the dough is also proofing at the same time.

STEP 15.12 next take a ball of dough , dust it wit flour and flatten it with the palm of the hand. Using a rolling pin roll out the dough into a thin circular sheet. By rolling only the edges of the sheet, the centre will remain a little thicker.

STEP 16.13 spoon 4 to5 tbsp of filling in the thick centre of the sheet of dough.

STEP 17.14 to fold the pleats of the bun, place the thumb and middle finger under the wrapper and the index finger above it. Lift the wrapper with the thumb and middles finger and push down with the index finger. Gently pinch it closed and keep folding in this manner to continue making the pleats, folding till you reach the end. Lastly twist and pinch to close the buns.

STEP 18.15 brush a thin layer of oil in the steamer so that the buns do not stick. Leave space between each bun to allow them to expand when steamed.

STEP 19.16 cover and place the steamer on a pot of warm water (80 to 90 degrees fahrenheit) the warmth will help the buns to proof further.let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

STEP 20.17 put the rest of the buns in the fridge to slow down their proofing process while the other batch is being steamed.

STEP 21.18 after 20 minutes turn on the heat to high and bring the water in the pot to a boil. Once the steam comes up, steam the buns for 15 minutes.turn of the heat but do not open the steamer immediately. Let it sit for 3 minutes, else the skin will shrink once the cold air hits the buns.

STEP 22.19 after 2 minutes open the steamer and carefully take the buns out.

STEP 23.20 they are ready to serve.
