PIXAR BAO

Steps:

• Mix flour and yeast in a mixing bowl
• Add water and kneed until a solid dough ball forms.
• If it get too sticky, add more flour. If it is too dry, add more water.
• Cover and let the dough rise for 2 hours.
• Cook half the ground pork in a pan, add it to the raw pork.
• Mix the pork with the shredded cabbage, minced carrot, green onions, beaten egg, ground ginger, olive oil, chicken bouillon powder, oyster sauce, cooking wine, salt and pepper.
• Once the dough has risen, dust the countertop with flour and into a long rope shape using the 'windmill technique'. (see photo)
• Cut the dough rope into 1/2" pieces. Roll each piece into a wrapper.
• Spoon 1/2 a tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
• Carefully pinch and fold the wrapper closed, twisting the top to finish. Make sure to press the dough tight to seal the top.
• Bring a pot of water to boil. Place the Baos in a steaming basket lined with cabbage leaves, to prevent sticking and place the basket on top of the boiling pot of water.
• Close lid.
• Steam for 15 minutes.
• Turn off heat and let Baos rest for an additional 5 minutes.
• Enjoy warm and remember the love.
