Xianggu meat stuffed buns

Overview

I like to use old fermented dough to steam steamed buns. The old method has remained unchanged for decades. As long as you are not in a hurry, you must wait for natural fermentation. The steamed buns are big and fat. I hope my uncle has an appetite. The important thing is that the buns are not hard when they are cooled, so they taste good when eaten directly without heating next time.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Fully dilute the fermented old fat dough into warm water, then add appropriate amount of water into the flour and mix into a dough, knead until smooth, cover with plastic wrap and let it ferment naturally in a warm place. Usually the buns are made the night before and steamed the next morning.

  3. Chop the onion and ginger, add an appropriate amount of old soup (no water) to the pork filling and stir vigorously in one direction to make the meat filling thick. Add salt, pepper, mushroom powder, soy sauce, onion and ginger and continue to mix in one direction. Fry the soybeans until cooked, pour them over the meat filling and stir evenly in one direction.

  5. Take out the fermented dough, dissolve the baking soda 5 in warm water, and knead it into the dough. Knead it repeatedly. This is very important. If the steamed buns are not kneaded evenly, there will be yellow spots. After kneading, cut it with a knife. The two sides are butt together and there is no sour smell. Cover it with plastic wrap or close the basin and leave it for 10 minutes.
