Recipe creation: Take the delicious taste home with you
Preparation of ingredients
First of all, the basis for making a bun is a good bun wrapper. Here we need 500 grams of flour, 5 grams of yeast, 5 grams of sugar, 10 grams of lard and 300 grams of water. Looking at the stuffing, 1 kg of pork is combined with cabbage, green onions and dried cabbage, with thirteen spices, chicken essence and salt and other condiments. In this way, the raw materials are ready, and the rich food for thought is about to be born in the kitchen.
Mix with fermentation
Next, it's a noodle mix. In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar with the lard and slowly add the water. It is a process that requires patience, stirring well until the dough is smooth, covered with a damp cloth, and allowed to rise, waiting for the dough to expand in volume and become soft.
Make minced meat and stir-fry
In the meantime, prepare the minced meat. Add some oil to the pan, first fry the pork until it changes color, then add the chopped cabbage and green onions, stir-fry until soft, do not forget to add the desired seasoning, and mix well until the meat filling is flavorful. This kind of meticulousness spurs the taste buds, and people can't help but want to taste it in advance.
Refrigerate and mix
It is recommended to put the fried minced meat in the refrigerator for a while to make the minced meat more flavorful. Once cooled, remove the cabbage and pork mixture and prepare the dough vigorously.
Exhaust and dispensing
After the dough has been fermented, it needs to be vented. Gently press it, knead it into a smooth dough and divide it into small pieces. Each dose is a moderate size, neither too small to be difficult to fill, nor too much to affect the taste.
The process of wrapping buns
The process of making steamed buns is particularly a test of craftsmanship. After rolling each agent into a circle, add an appropriate amount of meat filling, and gently knead the mouth of the bun to form a plump bun. At this time, you can make different tricks according to your personal preferences to add to the fun.
Technical details of decoction
The skill of frying buns lies in the control of the heat. Pour a small amount of oil into the pot, lay the buns flat at the bottom of the pot, fry the bottom until golden brown, gradually add some water, seal the mouth of the pot with a lid, and simmer until the water has evaporated, and the buns will be cooked just right.
How to steam the remaining steamed buns
If there are still leftover buns, steaming is also a good option. After the water boils, put the buns in a steamer and steam them for about 10-15 minutes to retain the flavor and juiciness of the buns.
The superiority of homemade buns
Homemade steamed buns will definitely make you feel a different flavor compared to the shops outside. By making it yourself, you can not only freely adjust the filling according to your personal taste, but also enjoy the freshly baked hot steamed buns, which are crispy and delicious, and full of flavor. Such a hearty breakfast is always refreshing, and being able to easily enjoy three or five buns is satisfying.
Homemade buns are not only to satisfy the taste buds, but also an art of life, which is poured into hard work and passion. When you share such a beautiful feeling with your relatives and friends, the warmth between each other also flows in this simple and delicious process. There's nothing like a warm breakfast to make you feel the happiness of life. Whether it's in a leisurely morning or a busy workday, homemade buns are a warm choice with a strong human touch.
