Steamed Buns With Dipping Sauce

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Appetizers Bread

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 medium Red bell pepper -- finely

Diced (I'd use more next

Time )

2 Scallions -- finely chopped

(both white and green parts

Reserve 1*teaspoon

For dipping sauce)

1 Minced garlic clove (reserve

1/8 for dipping

Sauce)

Marinated mushrooms from

Above recipe

1/4 cup Whole water chestnuts

Finely diced

1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Bun dough (see above

Recipe)

3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon White vinegar

1/4 teaspoon Hot chili oil

Chopped cilantro for

Garnish

 

In large non-stick saucepan, add bell pepper, scallions, and garlic, and cook,

stirring constantly, until peppers are soft, 5-8 minutes. Chop mushrooms (the

pieces need to be fairly small to go in the dumplings) and add, with marinade,

to peppers. Add water chestnuts and hoison sauce; cook until most of liquid has

evaporated, 3-4 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

 

Sprinkle work surface with flour. Turn bun dough out onto prepared surface,

knead 1 minute and roll into a log, about 16 " long and 1 1/2 " wide. Cut dough

into 16 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball with the palm

of your hand into a 3 " diameter circle. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling

mixture in center of each dough round, and gather up edges to enclose filling,

twisting edges together and pressing to seal.

Repeat with remaining dough and filling, covering buns with plastic wrap.

 

WARNING: This takes a little practice, so I'd recommend that you plan on *not*

serving the first 2 or 3 you make to company. =-)

Line steamer rack with cheesecloth or wax paper (I used cabbage leaves).

Place in large shallow saucepan or wok; add 2 " water, cover and bring to rolling

boil. Arrange 8 of the buns at least 1 " apart on prepared steamer rack; cover

and steam until puffy, tender and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Repeat with

remaining buns, adding water to pan as necessary. (I did this in my Black and

Decker steamer, which only allowed for 4 dumplings at a time. I filled the water

to the highest water mark, refilling after steaming 8 dumplings.)

Meanwhile, prepare dipping suace: In small bowl, combine soy sauce, 1

tablespoon water, the reserved scallions, the vinegar, the reserved garlic, and

the hot chili oil, if using; sprinkle with cilantro, if using.

 

Serve freshly steamed buns immediately, with dipping suace on the side, or cool

and freeze for later use. (To reheat, thaw until soft and steam until warmed

through, 5 minutes.)

Enjoy! The recipe also says that you can use other veggies and sauces -- try

chopping up your favorite ff chinese dish and making it into a filling!
