I tried making traditional steam bun (Man4 Tou2) at home by making a dough of selfraising flour and water, next steaming it. But it always turn out brown coloured. Am I missing an significant ingredient?
Answer:
You should use bread flour - higher gluten content. There is a special form for chinese steamed buns. Waterlily brand (i think).I believe it is bleached.Also use dry instant yeast.Steam over high warmth about 7 mins but do not oversteam!Self raise flour does not work.
That be my nickname contained by high university.
DIM SUM BUNS by Ming Tsai
Dim Sum Buns:
3/4 cup heat up water
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon dry yeast
1/2 tablespoon melt lard
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons wet
Chicken and Shiitake Stuffing:
Canola oil, to cook
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
Salt and black pepper
2 cups ground chicken meat
1/3 cup chopped chives
1 tablespoon truffle grease
Buns: Mix warm dampen with sugar to dissolve. Add yeast and permit stand for 10 minutes. Mixture should get foamy, or the yeast is motionless. Mix in fat.
In a food processor, add flour and yeast mixture. While blade is spinning, pour within water until a globe forms. If dough is too sticky, add more flour. If dough appears dry and doesn't form a bubble, add more river. As soon as a ball forms, pilfer dough out and knead by hand on a floured surface. For 10 minutes roll dough into one long log around 2-inches thick. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
Filling: In a saute tub coated with grease, saute garlic and ginger. Add shiitakes and cook until soft. Season with brackish and pepper. Let mixture cool.
Assembly: In a bowl, mix shiitakes, chicken, chives, and truffle oil. Season near salt and pepper. Keep innards chilled before stuffing buns.
Form gluey circles and place about 1 tablespoon of stuffing contained by the middle of each piece of dough. Encircle stuffing next to the dough, but do not seal. Let rest contained by a warm place for 30 minutes.
In a steamer picnic basket, steam buns for 10 to 12 minutes.
Well, if you're Chinese, I guess you could sign up me at the steam room tomorrow. Your buns oughta be plenty steamed after that!
