NIKUMAN (STEAMED PORK BUNS)

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients. I use a kitchen scale to measure my ingredients. Prepare one square piece of parchment paper for each bun you will make, about 3 inches x 3 inches (7.6 cm x 7.6 cm) for small buns. Set aside.

PORK STEAMED BUNS

Steps:

• For the filling:
• Put the rack of spareribs into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in the hoisin sauce, close the bag and toss gently to coat. Put the bag into a bowl and marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Put the ribs into a sheet pan along with all the marinade. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, slide it into the oven and bake until the meat easily separates from the bone, about 2 hours. Baste them every 30 minutes during the cooking process. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest.
• When cool enough to handle, pull the rib meat from the bones and coarsely chop. Then, in a large bowl, toss the pork together with the cabbage and scallions. If the mixture seems too dry, add in a bit more hoisin sauce.
• For the dough:
• Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl. After a few minutes, the yeast will begin to foam and bubble.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm milk, canola oil, and the activated yeast. Work the dough to produce a shaggy mass. Turn it out onto a floured board or countertop and knead until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and pliable, about 5 to 10 minutes. Put it into a lightly oiled bowl and turn it over once to coat. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise undisturbed for 40 minutes to 1 hour. The mass should double in volume.
• For the assembly:
• To form the buns, remove the dough from the bowl and roll it into 1 long rope. Cut the rope into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece and set them aside in a bowl. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into 4-inch circles, leaving the center slightly thicker then its edges. Put a heaping tablespoon of the filling into the center of each disk and pinch the tops closed to seal.
• Arrange the buns on a parchment lined sheet tray and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Alternatively, place the buns into a large 3-level bamboo steamer lined with parchment paper, 4 buns per level. Allow the buns to rest for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, fill a bamboo or stainless steel steamer with water and bring it to a boil. Cut 12 (4-inch) rounds from some parchment paper. When ready to cook, place the buns on the parchment rounds and into the steamer.

STEAMED BAO BUNS

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, caster sugar and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl (see tip). Dissolve the yeast and a pinch of sugar in 1 tbsp warm water, then add it to the flour with the milk, sunflower oil, rice vinegar and 200ml water. Mix into a dough, adding a little extra water if needed.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 10-15 mins, or until smooth. Put in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for 2 hrs, or until doubled in size.
• Tip the dough out onto a clean work surface and punch it down. Flatten the dough with your hands, then sprinkle over the baking powder and knead for 5 mins.
• Roll out the dough into a long sausage shape, about 3cm thick, then cut into pieces that are about 3cm wide - you should have 18. In the palm of your hand, roll each piece of dough into a ball and leave to rest for 2-3 mins.
• Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball, one by one, into an oval shape about 3-4mm thick. Rub the surface of the dough ovals with oil and brush a little oil over a chopstick. Place the oiled chopstick in the centre of each oval. Fold the dough over the chopstick, then slowly pull out the chopstick.
• Cut 18 squares of baking parchment and put a bun on each. Transfer to a baking tray, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to prove in a warm place for 1 hr 30 mins, or until doubled in size.
• Heat a large steamer over a medium-high heat. Steam the buns for 8 mins until puffed up (you'll need to do this in batches). Prise open each bun and fill with our barbecue pork and pickled carrot & mooli. Eat while they're still warm.

KOREAN STEAMED PORK BUNS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Make the dough: 1.In a large bowl add 1 cup of warm water (under 40° Celsius, or 100° F), 2 ts dry yeast, ½ ts salt, 2 tbs vegetable oil, and 1 ts sugar. Mix well until the dry yeast is fully dissolved. 2.Add 3 cups of flour to the yeast water. Mix with a wooden spoon, then knead for 2-3 minutes. 3. Set aside in warm place until the dough doubles in size. 4. After the dough has risen, knead it again for 1 minute to remove any extra gas. Set it aside in warm place with the lid closed for 30 minutes. While we wait for this to rise, we can prepare the fillings: 1. In a large bowl, place: ◦1 cup chopped onion ◦½ cup chopped carrot ◦1½ cup chopped zucchini ◦1½ cup chopped green onions ◦2 cups chopped white mushrooms 2. Sprinkle 1 ts salt over top and mix it up by hand. Set aside for 10-15 minutes. 3. Squeeze the excess water out. *tip: using cheesecloth will make this easier. Wrap the chopped vegetables in cheesecloth and gently squeeze the water out. 4. In a mixing bowl, place: ◦400 grams (14 oz) of ground pork ◦1 ts soy sauce ◦2 cloves of minced garlic ◦1 ts sesame oil ◦½ ts ground black pepper 5. Mix it by hand and set aside. Let's cook! 1. In a heated pan, add 1 tbs vegetable oil and sauté the chopped vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Transfer them to a large bowl. 2. Heat up the pan again, and cook the seasoned pork for 3 minutes until fully cooked. 3. Put the pork into the bowl with the vegetables and mix it all up. Now let's make the buns: 1. Split the dough into 16 smaller pieces. 2. Take a few dough balls and put them on a floured cutting board. The rest of balls should be in the bowl with the lid closed, to prevent them from getting dried out. 3. Roll out each ball into a disk 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. 4. Place a disk into your palm and add 2-3 tbs of filling mixture to the center of it. 5. Lift the edges of the disk up around the filling, then press the edges together to seal the filling snugly inside the bun. 6. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, until you've made 16 buns. 7. Put 6-7 cups of water in the bottom of a large steamer and place each bun on the rack. *tip: Place cheesecloth or cotton cloth on the steamer rack before adding each bun. Baking cups also work well. When you place the buns on the rack, leave a 1 inch gap between them because they will get bigger when steamed. 8. Wait for 20 more minutes to let the dough rise even more. 9. Bring to a boil over high heat, and steam for 20 minutes. Dipping sauce: 1. Combine ⅓ cup soy sauce, 2 tbs of vinegar, and 2 ts sugar in a small bowl. 2. Add some chunks of onion (½ cup), chunks of green chili pepper, and roasted sesame seeds. When the buns are cooked, turn off the heat and remove the lid to prevent water from the top of the lid from dripping over the buns. Serve with the dipping sauce, and enjoy!
