Pumpkin steamed buns (Hee Ban) - 南瓜喜粄

Remember my previous post i made steamed pumpkin mantou...I had some left over pumpkin puree in the freezer. I make this pumpkin Hee Ban and pumpkin noodles (will post next).
This pumpkin steamed buns (hee ban) is not much of pumpkin aroma but it is soft with a little chewy. I have also made the pink and the white Hee Ban here
It is simply addictive. Can't stop at one piece but it is like one piece after another..heehee

50g sugar
some water (i did not add this)
2 tbsp cooking oil

80g plain flour
1 tsp instant yeast
75ml water

some banana leaves ( cut into round shape)
(i cut mine square after steamed then i trim the edges)

To Do:
1) Peel and steamed pumpkin. Mashed into puree.
(i steamed my pumpkin with skin on until cooked and scoop out the flesh from skin and mash)
2) In a mixing bowl, add in the sponge dough ingredients and mixed well. Cover with a polythene bag to let it proof for 1 to 2 hours. 
3) After proofing, add  in baking powder mixed to combine. Then add in the rest of the main dough ingredients (sugar, glutinous rice flour, plain flour, oil and mashed pumpkin) knead into a smooth andsoft dough. (i add all of the ingredients into bread pan and let my bread maker to do the mixing and kneading job) Brush a thin layer of oil on the surface of the dough and let it sit for 10 minutes.
4) Roll the the dough long and divide into 30g each. (i make mine into 50g each) Shape it round then flatten it a little and place on a greased round banana leaf.
5) Let it proof for another 20 minutes. Steam over medium high heat for 10 minutes.

**The dough maybe quite soft and sticky. Oiled your hand while kneading or use disposal ploythene gloves or a plastic spatula to help to manage this sticky dough.




Hope you will enjoy this!!

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
