Chinese Steamed Buns

Chinese Steamed Buns, also known as Baozi, are a popular Chinese snack. They are made with a simple dough consisting of wheat flour, water, and yeast, and are filled with a variety of delicious fillings, such as pork, beef, chicken, mushrooms, and vegetables. Chinese Steamed Buns are steamed in a bamboo steamer basket, which helps to keep the buns soft and fluffy. They are typically served with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or chili oil. Chinese Steamed Buns are a popular snack in many parts of the world, and are often served as part of a traditional Chinese meal.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Filling of choice (optional)

Directions

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the warm water and oil until a soft dough forms.
  • Step 2
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Step 3
    Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disc.
  • Step 4
    If desired, spoon a small amount of filling onto the center of each disc. Gather the edges together and pinch them shut to form a ball.
  • Step 5
    Place the buns onto a steamer lined with parchment paper. Cover and steam the buns for 10 minutes, until they are fluffy and cooked through.
