Bao
Liam loves steam buns, we have found some decent frozen ones from Safeway, but Rose doesn't really care for the sauce that is on the pork filling. (It is very sweet.) I found a package of mix to make the bun part at one of the asian markets here in town. It smelled a little stale when i started mixing it and I'm not sure I followed the directions correctly...resting, mixing, and kneading all seemed to be used interchangeably. Anyways, they turned out pretty well. I made a simple filling of ground turkey seasoned with more of a Thai bent (onion, pepper, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, soy, sugar). Abbie Rose liked the flavor better, but I should have pureed the peppers and onions instead of leaving them diced. The texture still bothers her to eat. Next time I plan to make my own dough, in the meantime there are 6 more from this batch waiting in the freezer :)

Ooo! I like bao, too. I think I must have tried the same ones from Safeway - I'd get them again, but probably only if they're on sale. Keep us posted on make your own bao recipes!

ReplyDeleteMmmm, yummy. Jason and I went to dim sum recently in China town, it was sooo good! We were stuffed and satisfied after. I'm guessing your version will be better than the package, you've got the touch.
ReplyDeleteSo adventurous!
