Afternoon Tea ~ 喝下午茶 ^^


Bao Ingredients:
500g Bao flour
11g instant yeast
100g castor sugar
50g Crisco shortening
250g water

Filling:

3 chicken whole thigh, debone
1 tbsp chopped garlic
some oil


Marinade:

4 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp abalone sauce

Prepare Filling:

1) To prepare the Marinade, Combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, pepper, sugar, sesame oil and abalone sauce in a bowl and set aside.

2) Marinate chicken in mixture for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.

3) Drain the meat and reserved the Marinade. Use a thick bottom sauce pan without oil pan fry the chicken till it is cooked. It maybe a little burnt but that is fine. Leave cooked chicken cool a little before cutting chicken into bite-sized pieces, set aside.

4) Meanwhile, place the chopped garlic in a wok with a little oil, fry a while and pour in the Marinade and bring to the boil. Simmer for 3-5 mintues. Lastly pour in a little corn starch (1/2 tbsp corn flour add 1 tbsp water) to thicken the sauce.

5) Mix the Sauce with the chicken, stirring until all are well mixed.


Prepare for the bao Skin:

1) Mix all the bao ingredients in a mixing bowl, then knead the dough with hand for 10-15 mintues or (If you are using a breadmachine, mix all until it is smooth and extensible, approximately 20 minutes.

2) Take out the dough, scale the dough at 35g each, round it and leave it to rest for about 10 minutes.

3)Flatten the dough(the centre of the dough have to be thicker then the side, so that when you wrap in the filling, the bao will not be too thin at the bottom) and place the filling at the centre of the dough. Wrap up the filling by folding the edge of the dough with desired design. Place each wrapped dough on a small piece of round or square parchment paper.

4) Cover the bao(wrapped dough) with a piece of dry cloth and allow it to rise(proof) for 15-20minutes.

5) Lined the steaming rack with a piece of wet cloth, place all the bao on the lined rack and steam in rolling boil water for 10-12minutes.


Note: You may not be able to place all the bao all at once in the steaming rack, so you can divide them into batches. But, do remember, not to proof the bao for too long or it will not be spongy and soft.

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
