DOUSHA BAO/JJINBBANG/STEAMED RED BEAN BUN

Steps:

• 1. Set aside the red bean paste.
• 2. Combine all ingredients except yeast and water, in large bowl.
• 3. Mix yeast and lukewarm water briskly, and pour into mix.
• 4. Mix and knead dough. Dough should stick together well and be pliable, use more milk if necessary to wet the dough. Knead for 10-12 minutes by hand, or about half with a machine.
• 5. Put in a round shape in bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hour.
• 6. Divide dough into about 12 pieces, or change size to fit your needs and your steamer.
• 7. Let dough pieces rest for a couple of minutes before flattening into a round shape to fill.
• 8. Place about 1T filling in the center of each bun, bringing up the corners and twisting closed. Place knot side down on a piece of parchment paper or wax paper inside your steamer.
• 9. Boil water and place steamer inches Let steam for about 15 minutes. Buns will turn white and look slightly shiny on the outside. Remove from steamer and serve immediately.
• Note: This dough may be used to make bbq pork buns or even plain buns if you'd like, it's not overly sweet. For a fun change, press a knife down the middle to make an indent before the bun is steamed. Shape a little leaf out of extra dough and put it on top. When the buns cool slightly, paint the top of the bun pink and the leaf green -- a peach bun!

RED BEAN-STUFFED PANDA BUNS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the milk, yeast, sugar, and flour with a rubber spatula until the dough starts to come together.
• Fit the stand mixer with the dough hook and mix the dough on medium-high speed for 10 minutes, until smooth.
• Cover the dough with a wet towel and let rest for 1 hour.
• Pull off about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball, then roll out into a log. Fold the outer ends of the log inward to overlap the center, then roll out into a log again. Repeat 2-3 more times, until the dough is very smooth.
• Press into a flat disc. Roll 1 tablespoon of red bean paste into a ball, then place in the center of the disc. Wrap the dough around the red bean paste to seal, then roll the bun into a ball and set on a small square of parchment paper. Repeat to make 12 total buns, leaving some excess dough for decorating.
• Add a bit of black food coloring to another portion of dough and roll out the dough as before, until the color is uniform.
• Use a finger to slightly dampen the outside of a bun. Decorate with 2 pieces of black dough for the ears, 2 pieces for the eyes, and 1 piece for the nose. Repeat with the remaining buns.
• Let the buns rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill the bottom of a steamer with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. (If you don't have a steamer, fill a large pot with a bowl at the bottom with water, then place a plate on top of the bowl, making sure the water does not come over the edges of the plate.)
• Add the buns to the steamer, leaving enough space for the buns to expand. Cover the pot and steam the buns for 9-10 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through. Turn off the heat and let the buns rest in the steamer for 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
