Steamed vegetable (soybean sprouts) bun & stewed pork trotter


Filling: soybean sprout, sesame oil, chopped scallion, minced ginger, white baked sesame, fresh chili sauce (剁椒), sugar, salt, light soy sauce. Stir fry soybean sprout with 1tsp oil for 1 minute. Switch to low heat for 5 minutes with a lid. Mix pre-cooked soybean sprout with all the other ingredients and adjust the taste to be slightly salty... just slightly! Salt is very important for spicy and sweet tastes!

Bun: 3 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup water, 1/2 table spoon fast yeast, 1 tea spoon baking powder. I use Panasonic bread machine (here) to rise the bun, choosing 'dough' mode. It takes about 45 minutes. After you seal the buns, leave them there for at least 20 minutes before begin steaming. Steaming takes about 15 minutes, but leave the lid covered for an extra 3-minute. 

包子开锅瘪是个普遍的问题,在揉面的时候加入少量泡打粉 baking powder可以解决这个恼人的事... enjoy!
