This past weekend was a lovely weekend,
2 Good friends of mine came to visit us for a couple of days,
our Disney passes are expiring soon, so we wanted to try to hit every ride possible.
We tried to get some fast passes but due to your ability to get fast passes MONTHS! in advanced, really makes it hard for the local residence who lets be honest, spend more money
through out the year.
Regardless, the trip was fun despite the rain that seems to be non stop lately.
After we got back, we were all tired. However i managed to whip up a new recipe for me.
We made BAO BUNS! It was a lot of fun, we had 5 spice beef, shredded chicken and
Mushroom buns.
It was delicious and was gone shortly after it hit the table, every one loves bit sized foods.
Bao is surprisingly easy to make! You just need to make your basic bread recipe
add a table spoon of oil let the yeast do its thing for bit then add the flour and let it
kneed for a about 10 min.
Then after you let it rise for an hour, Roll it out for about 12 2x2 squares. Let that puff up a bit then
cut the 12 squares.
Roll the Individual squares out into about 7x7 squares and cut into 4's.
Place about 1 table spoon of filling and bring all corners to a point and form a bun.
now steam them for about 6 to 10 minutes.
I put them in the over at 175 to proof them before I serve.
They were a little soggy coming out of the steamer for obvious reasons.
But the oven took the moisture out of the bun, but not too much.
Some will break open because the dough is too thin, no worries, it still taste great!
Serve with Hoisen sauce and you are golden!
I really should post this to my food page.
More to come later!!!
Peace!
