Little Hedgehog Meat Buns with Spinach Sauce

Overview

The little hedgehogs came to an orchard and saw that the trees were full of red and big fruits. They climbed up, pulled one down, smelled it, it smelled good, and took a bite. It was so sweet and delicious! So the little hedgehogs held the fruit branches and shook them vigorously. Plop, plop, the big and red fruits fell to the ground. The little hedgehogs thought: How can we take home so many fruits? They thought and thought, and finally came up with a good idea, so they rolled a few times on the ground and were covered with red fruits. The little hedgehogs happily carried the fruits home. It is shaped like a little hedgehog, lifelike and cute. Knead the dough with spinach juice and mix it with carrot meat filling, which is more nutritious and tastes more delicious.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare all ingredients for meat filling. Chop the pork and carrots.

   

2. 2 Pour some oil into the pot, add carrots, add appropriate amount of salt, and fry until cooked.

   

3. 3 Put the meat and carrots into a bowl, add appropriate amount of water, vegetable oil, salt, chicken essence, oyster sauce and thirteen spices, stir in one direction and set aside.

   

4. 4 Mix the flour and yeast powder, slowly pour in the spinach juice, stir with chopsticks while pouring, and knead the dough until the surface is smooth.

   

5. 5 Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

   

6. 6 Dip your index finger in flour and poke a hole in the middle. If the hole does not collapse or shrink back, you can see that the dough has formed a honeycomb shape inside. It is ready to ferment.

   

7. 7 Knead the fermented dough evenly until the surface is smooth, and cut into dough pieces of similar size. There will be no obvious air bubbles on the cut surface of the dough pieces.

   

8. 8 Roll out the small dough into a bun wrapper and fill it with carrot meat filling.

   

9. 9 With the seal facing down, use your index and thumb fingers to gently pinch out the hedgehog's mouth on one third of the bun.

   

10. 10 Use scissors to cut out small thorns. When cutting, you should gently lift them up to make them look better.

    

11. 11 Cut out the mouth and use two beans to make the eyes of the hedgehog.

    

12. 12 After wrapping the buns, place them on a steamer covered with a drawer cloth. There should be a gap in the middle, because they will grow bigger during steaming. Let it rise for a second time for 20 minutes (adjust the rising time according to the temperature) until it doubles in size.

    

13. 13 Bring the water to a boil over high heat, steam over medium heat for 20 minutes, turn off the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes before uncovering the pot.
