MEAT BUNS

Steps:

• While the dough is resting, heat the oil in a pan, add the diced onion, and cook till soft-about 5 minutes.
• Add the beef and break it up.

• Add the slurry and leave to simmer for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
• Dissolve the Yeast and Sugar in the warm milk and leave to proof.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar, make a well at the center and add the proofed yeast, egg, and butter and mix together until a soft dough is formed.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it's smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes by hand.
• Place the dough inside a very large oiled bowl (making sure you smear some oil on the surface of the dough) and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or till doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough to remove the trapped air and place the dough on a lightly floured work surface.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and mold each of them into a ball.
• Take the dough one at a time and roll them out into a circular disc. Scoop the filling inside the center of the dough and gather the dough at the top. Then, pinch the top a couple of times to securely close the dough.
• Place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Brush with egg wash and bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

CHINESE STEAMED BUNS

Steps:

• Mix together yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/4 cup warm water. Allow to stand for 30 minutes.
• Mix in 1/2 cup warm water, flour, salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vegetable oil. Knead until dough surface is smooth and elastic. Roll over in a greased bowl, and let stand until triple in size, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Punch down dough, and spread out on a floured board. Sprinkle baking powder evenly on surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 2 parts, and place the piece you are not working with in a covered bowl. Divide each half into 12 parts. Shape each part into a ball with smooth surface up. Put each ball on a wax paper square. Let stand covered until double, about 30 minutes.
• Bring water to a boil in wok, and reduce heat to medium; the water should still be boiling. Place steam-plate on a small wire rack in the middle of the wok. Transfer as many buns on wax paper as will comfortably fit onto steam-plate leaving 1 to 2 inches between the buns. At least 2 inches space should be left between steam-plate and the wok. Cover wok with lid. Steam buns over boiling water for 15 minutes.
• REMOVE LID BEFORE you turn off heat, or else water will drip back onto bun surface and produce yellowish "blisters" on bun surfaces. Continue steaming batches of buns until all are cooked.

CHEESY STUFFED MEAT BUNS

Steps:

• Stir the yeast and sugar into 1 cup warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes or until puffy.
• Add the flours, salt, egg, and water-yeast mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on medium-low for 10 minutes. Remove dough hook. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 1-2 hours or until about doubled in size. It should look puffy.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the beef and stir to break. Sprinkle with salt and spices cook for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat.
• Divide the dough into 8 even sections. (I use a paring knife to cut it in half, then in half again and again, etc to make a pinwheel shape with 8 even triangles.)
• Working with one piece of dough at a time, coating with flour as needed if sticky, flatten into a disc that's about 6 inches wide. (It doesn't need to be precise!)
• Place 2 heaping tablespoons each cooked meat and cheese into the center and fold in the dough to enclose the fillings. The seams should press and hold together with slightly pressure and a little gentle pressing.
• Place roll onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat to make all 8. Set aside and cover with a towel while the oven preheats.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the buns for 20-22 minutes or until firm to the touch. Let cool slightly and serve warm.

CHINESE STYLE MEAT BUNS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar and yeast and let it sit until it starts foaming, for about 15 minutes. In a large bowl add the flour and to it add the egg, oil, salt and the yeast mixture.
• Mix it all together using your hands, if you find the dough too sticky just add more flour. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few more minutes, until it becomes elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and let it rise until doubled in size, in a warm spot.
• Cut up the pork loin in small pieces and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, add the garlic and ginger paste, vegetable oil, honey, Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, wine, pepper, salt, five spice powder, and sesame oil. Whisk everything all together and add the pork to it. Let the pork marinate for about 1 hour, or until the dough is almost ready.
• eat a skillet, over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to it. When the oil is hot add the pork mixture including the marinade to it and cook until the pork is cooked thoroughly, for about 5 minutes. Before removing it from heat, add the green onions to it and mix well.
• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
• Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a disc, so that it's about 4 or 5 inches in diameter. Place heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture in the middle of it.
• Seal the bun by gathering up the edges of the disc.
• Place the sealed side down bun, on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining balls and meat mixture.
• Brush the buns with egg wash and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the buns are nice and golden brown.

CHINESE STEAMED BUNS WITH MEAT FILLING

Steps:

• Cook chopped pork in a wok over medium heat. After 3 minutes of cooking add chopped shrimp if desired. Cook until pork is no longer pink. Drain, season with salt and set aside to cool.
• Mix together green onions, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, oil, sugar, and pepper. Stir in minced meat. Stir in water and mix thoroughly. Chill in freezer for 2 hours, or in refrigerator overnight to firm up and blend flavors.
• Prepare dough for Chinese Steamed Buns.
• Shape dough into balls. Roll each out into a circle, (like Won-Ton wrappers). Put 1 tablespoonful of prepared meat mixture in the center of each circle, and wrap dough around filling. Place seams down onto wax paper squares. Let stand until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Bring water to a boil in wok, and reduce heat to medium; the water should still be boiling. Place steam-plate on a small wire rack in the middle of the wok. Transfer as many buns on wax paper as will comfortably fit onto steam-plate leaving 1 to 2 inches between the buns. At least 2 inches space should be left between steam-plate and the wok. Cover wok with lid. Steam buns over boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• REMOVE LID BEFORE you turn off heat, or else water will drip back onto bun surface and produce yellowish "blisters" on bun surfaces. Continue steaming batches of buns until all are cooked.
