How To Make banh bao
-
Step 1Mix milk and sugar together. Take 1 cup of flour out (use for dusting later).Put flour into a large bowl.Slowly add milk and sugar mixture and oil.Will be very sticky. After mixing together place a towel and let rest for 45 minutes.
-
Step 2Soak the fungus for about 15 minutes in hot water, drain well.Mix all the meat ingrdients together. Except the eggs. Peel those and cut into 4 pieces.
-
Step 3When the dough is ready,dust your table with flour.kneed for maybe 5 minutes,then make into 2 long logs ( about 20 inches ).Cut each log into 20 pieces.
-
Step 4Roll each piece out into a round shape( mine arent so round..lol) You want the center a little thicker than the outer edges.
-
Step 5Place about a 1/4 cup meat mixture in the middle and a piece of egg.Bring up the sides and pinch together at the top.
-
Step 6Steam for 25 minutes on medium heat. These will fluff up so you want to leave about a inch or so between them.
-
Step 7My daughter saw a video on you tube how to make them into the shape of a pig.She had alot of fun making them into piggies.
-
Step 8When my ex makes these he also put a piece of chinese sausage in his. My daughter loves it but I didn't have any this time so we left it out. Fine with me I don't like it.
