"大饼的烹饪补习班" 今天的食谱是"蚝叉烧包" 很吸引我, 更有趣的是, 包子不用包美美, 只需简单包一下...蒸了就会"笑"...有趣吧~~
那让我跟你分享.....^^

Nanny is going to balik kampung for a few days. We are going to stay home looking after my little one for a week or so. Staying home is meaning to say I got more chance to read my books and watch TV. Today I am watching this program from Taiwan, it is about cooking classes. The topic for today is "How to make yummy Oyster sauce char xiu bao?" 
What interest me is that 'you do not need to warp the bao nicely, just a simple wrap will do because when you steam it, it will 'SMILE' crack beautifully. Isn't that nice...^^

4) Add in 30g oil knead well then add in 4 tsp baking powder and knead in a smooth and soft dough.
5) Sit the dough covered for 20 minutes for the flour gluten to relax.
6) Pinch a small portion of the dough, rolled with a rolling pin. Rolled into a round shape with the middle thicker then the sides. Sides should be rolled thinly. Then wrapped in the char xiu filling and sealed up neatly. Don't need to pleat any fancy pattern, just simple.

~Simple sealed up the bao sides....简易的把包封口,就行了~
7) Place the bao onto a piece of papercup case and steam over high heat for 10 minutes.

3) 先将水,糖及酵母拌匀, 再加入粉类, 和匀成团.
4) 加入30克的油揉匀後, 加入4小匙泡粉, 揉匀成光滑状.
5)用容器盖上, 休息20分钟, 等待面团松弛.
6) 取一小块面团, 用杆面棍杆成边薄内厚的面皮, 再包入内馅.
7) 封口之後, 放在蒸笼纸上, 并放入蒸笼中.
8) 用大火蒸10分钟就完成 .

~(6) 我把面团都分切成每一粒40克...I divided the doughs into 40g each~


~(7) 包入叉烧馅再封口~...Wrapped the filling and sealed up the bao skin.


~包好了, 要进锅蒸了...All are ready to go into wok and steam~


~香蚝叉烧包子.好了...Oyster sauce bao is ready..Serve~~

~This is the baos after steamed~smile~smile~...蒸好的包子..笑..笑~~


**Tips: Do make sure your baking powder is still valid and not expired. Baking powder is the secret of, why the bao "SMILE" (cracked).
小贴士: 泡打粉是让这包子"笑"的秘诀, 所以做这包子时,必需检查您的泡打粉是否还是有效...^^

  7. Hi Mui Mui,
    This is the first time i see smiling paus made without kan sui (ammonium bicarbonate). I am really interested in making smiling pau but I dun have kan sui, so I am looking for alternatives. Just curious, you are using quite a fair amount of baking powder, will that affect the taste, or will it lead to a lot of wind in the stomach, hehe.

  8. Hi Mui Mui,
    I just made some char siew baos using another recipe and I used 10g baking powder and 8g instant yeast. So I was wrong about my previous comment. It does seem that we do need to use a fair amount of baking powder when we make such smiling CSB :) But my 10g baking powder is only 2 tsp, not 4 tsp. 4 tsp should be 20 grams?

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
