Oriental Chicken Buns Food

STEAMED CHICKEN BUNS

Steps:

• Prepare chicken filling. In a bowl, combine chicken, cabbage, spring onion, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, pepper, salt, sesame oil, corn flour and chicken stock to form a moist paste. Cover and put in the fridge
• Make bun pastry. Dissolve sugar in water and stir in yeast. Set aside to let it foam. In a big bowl, sift flour and baking powder together. When yeast mix is foamy (around 15 mins), slowly add bit by bit into the flour while stirring at the same time. Keep about 10 - 20 ml of yeast mix for later. Once flour starts to come together, add in the oil and knead into a soft dough - add remaining yeast bit by bit while kneading dough. (knead about 15 - 20mins until dough is smooth) Cover and let it rise in room temperature till double in size (around 30mins) Punch down the dough and knead till smooth (around 5mins). Take roughly about 30g of dough. Roll into a ball, flatten into a circle with your palm, fold the edges to center and overturn the ball (with folded edges facing down) and flatten with your palm again. Use a rolling pin to flatten the edges of the circle, the center of circle should be slightly thicker than the edges. Repeat process with the rest of the dough
• Make and Steam Buns. Fill circles with fillings. Pinch the top part of skin as you rotate the bao in a circular motion and use your thumb to keep the fillings in as you rotate. Pinch and remove the tip of any excess dough on top of the bun. Arrange the buns on parchment paper and plate. Steam in low heat for approximately 15 min.

STEAMED CHICKEN AND SHIITAKE BUNS

Steps:

• Buns: Mix warm water with sugar to dissolve. Add yeast and let stand for 10 minutes. Mixture should get foamy, or the yeast is dead. Mix in lard.
• In a food processor, add flour and yeast mixture. While blade is spinning, pour in water until a ball forms. If dough is too sticky, add more flour. If dough appears dry and doesn't form a ball, add more water. As soon as a ball forms, take dough out and knead by hand on a floured surface. For 10 minutes roll dough into one long log about 2-inches thick. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
• Filling: In a saute pan coated with oil, saute garlic and ginger. Add shiitakes and cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Let mixture cool.
• Assembly: In a bowl, mix shiitakes, chicken, chives, and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper. Keep filling chilled before stuffing buns.
• Form thick circles and place about 1 tablespoon of stuffing in the middle of each piece of dough. Encircle stuffing with the dough, but do not seal. Let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• In a steamer basket, steam buns for 10 to 12 minutes.
