MANAPUA
Manapua are a wonderful snack food popular in Hawaii. I found this recipe in a travel magazine a few years ago. You can substitute Chinese BBQ pork (char siu) for the sausage if you'd like.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine the sugar, shoyu, oyster sauce, five spice, salt, liquor, crushed garlic, and red food coloring. Mix until the sugar has dissolved.
- Cut the pork into large chunks. Add it to a large ziploc bag and let it marinate in the sauce overnight.
- Either cook the pork in a crockpot for 6 hours on high or in the Instant Pot on manual high for 45 minutes. Allow 10 minutes of natural release before pressing the quick release.
- Shred the meat. Save 1/2 cup of the leftover char siu juices.
- Combine the cold water and cornstarch. In a small pot add the char siu juices and corn starch.
- Heat until the filling has thickened then add in the char siu and mix to combine.
- Set aside the char siu filling to let it cool down to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, add in the flour. Create a small well in the flour and add in yeast, baking powder, and sugar.
- Slowly add in the water while stirring it with a wooden spoon or hand. Transfer the dough to a working surface with flour sprinkled on.
- With a vertical arm press down with your palm and bring it forward and with the other arm, bring it back. Sprinkle on more flour until the dough can slightly stick. Keep kneading until the dough has become smooth, waxy, soft, and bouncy. Divide the dough into 60-65g pieces. If you have extra, divide it amongst the other pieces. Then cover it with a plastic wrap to prevent it from air drying.
- With one divided piece, press it into a flat disc with the outer edges thin and in the middle thick.
- Stuff the dough with the manapua filling (be sure the filling is at room temperature) and close it on the top while swirling and pinching it. If there is excess dough, pinch it off and it'll look like a bald head. Set aside and repeat with the other pieces.
- ***Optional: To have a smoother looking sphere, use a rolling pin. Flatten a piece of dough. Roll it with a rolling pin, fold, and roll. Repeat for 4-5 times then shape it into a circular shape.
- Line a steamer with parchment paper and place the manapua on it. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- In the meantime, boil water in a pot large enough to hold the steamer basket. Place the covered steamer over the pot and let it steam for 7-8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
- Follow the instructions up to resting the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Use egg wash to spread over the dough and bake it for 15-20 minutes or until it is golden brown. Enjoy!
BAKED CHAR SIU BAO OR MANAPUA
This chinese bun that is filled with char siu or seasoned red pork, evokes and fills my mind with so much sweet memories of my grammom and grampa, my mom and dad, my childhood and growing up, having my own children and now my grandchildren. It has withstood the test of time, now generations later, it is still a strong staple in my family. But no one in my family thought of trying to take on the great task of creating and making it at home, until now. It was a "Sunday kinda thing" to travel into Chinatown and buy it, come home and have breakfast with the family. My mom made Manapua, as I recall, only twice. It was just too time consuming and too much work. It was more convenient and tasty to just purchase it. It was difficult to capture that essence, that certain "taste" on your palate of chinese "char siu bao". In the photo which is not mine, the steamed manapua is on the left, the white one. The brown manapua on the right is the baked manapua. This is also a request for someone that is just "homesick" for local food. So I hope that this will comfort her, even just a little. Enjoy, LY!!!

- NOTE: FILL THE BAO (BUN) WHEN THE FILLING IS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, NOT HOT, NOT REFRIGERATOR COLD.
- PROCEDURE FOR THE BAO (BUN):
- Mix together in a bowl, the yeast packet, lukewarm water and a pinch of salt. Set aside until it's foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar and room temperature milk, whisk until sugar dissolves. Add the 2 cups of the cake flour and mix well. In 3 increments, slowly add the 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and combine well, but do not over mix.
- Place the dough in a large bowl, and in a warm place, allow for the dough to rise till it doubles in size (approximately 2 1/2 hours, if enclosed in a microwave oven with a jar of boiling water on the side of the bowl).
- Remove the dough from the microwave oven and discard the water.
- Punch down the dough and cut the dough into 24 equal pieces. Form into dough balls and allow the dough balls to rest for about 15 minutes.
- Roll out each ball into 4-inch disks, place a heaping Tbsp. of room temperature filling onto the center of the disk, gather the edges together and pinch it close with a twist.
- With a cookie sheet, prepped with parchment paper, set the bao (bun), twisted side down and spaced evenly apart.
- Put the cookie sheet of bao in a warm, moist area so that it can rise for about 30 minutes.
- Brush the tops of the bao with the beaten egg and bake for 22 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
- Remove the bao from oven onto a cooling rack. Serve hot or warm.
- To retain freshness, bao may be frozen. To reheat a frozen bao, let stand for about 5 minutes, then wrap with a damp paper towel and microwave in the oven for about 1 minute, more if needed.

Steps:
- Sprinkle yeast over 3 tablespoons lukewarm water and allow to stand until yeast softens.
- To remaining water, add oil or shortening, sugar and salt, stirring until melted or dissolved. Cool. Add yeast mixture.
- Place flour in a large mixing bowl or a heavy-duty mixer and add most of the liquid. Combine until flour incorporates liquid and starts to become a ball.
- Add remaining liquid to make a very heavy dough.
- Begin kneading the dough in the bowl. Continue kneading until you have a smooth ball that is beginning to show signs of long strands on the outside, indicating that the gluten has fully developed.
- Remove dough from bowl and rinse out bowl. Pour sesame oil into bowl, return dough and turn it around until covered with a thin layer of the oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise until double in bulk (about an hour in a warm room).
- Place the dough in the refrigerator and allow it to rise (3-6 hours). Punch it down again and allow it to rise again (3 hours).
- Proceed with the filling while the dough is rising. In a saute pan, stir cornstarch, hoisin sauce, dry sherry, oyster sauce, ketchup, soy sauce and brown sugar into the 1 cup water until dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add char siu and simmer for 5 minutes. Take off heat and allow to cool completely. Chill covered until 1 hour before you are ready to stuff the manapua. Allow to return to room temperature before using.
- When ready to cook, cut 12 (3-inch) squares of waxed paper and coat 1 side with very light coat of nonstick cooking spray.
- Punch down dough and divide into 12 pieces. Roll each into a ball.
- Make the dough as thin as you can and try to keep the edges thinner than the center.
- Place the circle of dough in the palm of your hand. Spoon in a couple of tablespoons of filling, cupping the dough around it.
- With the thumb and finger of the other hand, pinch the edges of the dough as if you were making a fluted edging on a pie crust. Pinch the folds together, twisting them as you do so.
- Place the completed manapua on a square of greased waxed paper. Allow to plump up into a globe with a taut exterior.
- Heat a steamer with plenty of water or preheat an oven at 350 degrees F.
- If using steamer, fill steamer with manapua on their papers about 1 to 2 inches apart. Cover and steam vigorously for 15 minutes. Remove steamer from heat, let stand 5 minutes, then open. If using a metal steamer, place a folded tea towel across top of steamer, holding it in position with the lid. This will prevent steam from dropping onto manapua while steaming.
- If baking, place manapua on their papers on a baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart. Brush top of buns with a little vegetable oil and bake 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand 1 minutes. Serve hot.
- Manapua can be frozen. Frozen bau may be reheated by wrapping with a paper towel and microwaving for 1 minute.

Steps:
- Make the bao dough: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, vegetable oil and ⅓ cup warm water and stir to combine. Slowly add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water, mixing constantly. Knead the dough in the bowl until smooth and well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- Make the char siu filling: Dice the onion and chop the char sui into ½-inch pieces.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the char siu sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar.
- In a medium nonstick pan, sauté the onion over medium-low heat until translucent, 1 minute. Add the chopped char siu, sauce, and water. Stir to combine, then simmer until the sauce thickens, 2 minutes. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, until cool.
- After rising, punch the dough down and knead until it is back to its original size. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 5 48-gram balls. Flatten and roll out each portion, making sure the middle is thick while the sides are thin. Hold a dough round in the palm of your hand and add 36 grams of the char siu filling to the center. Use your other hand to pinch the edges of the dough together up and over the filling while rotating the bao in your hand.
- Place each bao on a small square of parchment paper. Set in a steamer basket, cover, and let rise for about 15 minutes, until slightly puffed, before steaming.
- Fill the bottom of a steamer or double boiler with water and bring to a boil. Add the steamer basket with the bao, cover, and steam for 15 minutes, then turn off the flame and let rest in the steamer for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
