Baozi Steamed Buns

Soft, pillowy Chinese steamed buns filled with savory ginger-scallion pork. The dough is lightly sweet, tender, and sturdy enough to hold its juicy filling while steaming.

Comment préparer

1
Mix the flour, yeast, 15 g of the sugar, and 4 g of the salt in a large bowl. Pour in the lukewarm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 8 minutes until smooth and springy.
2
Cover the dough and rest it in a warm, draft-free place for 60 to 75 minutes, until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, combine the pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, chives, remaining 10 g sugar, and remaining 2 g salt.
3
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide it into 8 equal pieces, and roll each into a ball. Cover and rest for 10 minutes so the gluten relaxes.
4
Roll each dough ball into a 12 cm round, keeping the center slightly thicker than the edge. Place about 55 g of filling in the center, pleat the edge around it, and pinch firmly to seal. Set each bun seam-side up on a small square of parchment.

5
Arrange the buns in a bamboo steamer lined with parchment, leaving at least 4 cm between them. Cover and rest for 25 to 30 minutes, until slightly puffy and the dough slowly springs back when pressed.
6
Bring 4 to 5 cm of water to a steady boil in the steamer base. Place the covered bamboo steamer over it and steam for 18 to 20 minutes, maintaining a consistent simmer, until the buns are firm and the pork filling reaches 74°C/165°F.
7
Turn off the heat and leave the covered steamer in place for 3 minutes. Open the lid gradually, transfer the buns to a plate, and serve hot with dipping sauce.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

A small amount of sugar rounds out the dough while yeast creates a tender, elastic crumb. Ginger, scallion, soy sauce, and sesame oil give the pork a deeply aromatic filling, and steaming keeps both components moist.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

Cool buns completely, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze individually for up to 2 months. Freeze uncooked shaped buns on a tray, then transfer them to a sealed container.

Comment la réchauffer

Reheat refrigerated buns in a steamer for 6 to 8 minutes. Steam frozen cooked buns for 10 to 12 minutes; do not thaw first. Ensure the center is piping hot before serving.
