The wrapper rises during the process of steaming. My recipe for Bao bun dough requires five ingredients: all-purpose flour; dried yeast; sugar; cooking oil, and lukewarm water. Bao means Buns so calling it bao buns doesn't make sense but it is such a cute name! Bao is steamed buns and it can be many different shapes and it can be by itself or filled with sweet/savory filling.
Steps to make Bao Buns:
- Prepare all the ingredients. In a bowl add the ingredients for the dough and knead smoothly. Cover and let it sit in a warm place for about 2 hrs. After 2 hrs, knead the dough for 2 mnts to release the air.
- Roll out the dough upto 1 cm thick. Using a round cutter, cut out circles, place them on a tray lined with cupcake liners. Lift up each circle, fold such that it forms a "The" shape but do not press. Be as gentle as you can. Keep the tray covered with a cloth in a warm place for the buns to proof for 30 mnts.
- Transfer to a steamer and let them steam for 12 to 15 minutes. Your buns will look like as shown in the picture.
- In a wok add ginger garlic paste, Sizzle till fragrant. Add in the sauces and simmer till bubbles appear. Turn the flame to high and add the chicken strips. Stir and cook on high only so the chicken does not release water and remains tender. No water should remain. Turn off the heat and start assembling.
- To assemble the bao buns, open the bun as shown in the picture above. Put in the chicken strips, cabbage, cucumber, carrot, sprinkle coriander, peanuts, sesame seeds and enjoy. This is comfort food for me, I hope you like it too.
I shared mantou, my original steamed bun recipe a long ago. It's very similar but this recipe is upgrade version of the old one. Baozi (Chinese: 包子), or bao, is a type of yeast-leavened filled bun in various Chinese cuisines. There are many variations in fillings (meat or vegetarian) and preparations, though the buns are most often steamed. They are a variation of mantou from Northern China.
