Xiao Long Bao

Overview

My kids love Xiao Long Bao very much, but I’m not sure about the ingredients from outside, so I try to make them at home! I tried it many times but was not very successful. Then a pastry friend gave me some advice and it turned out to be very successful. I will share it with you today!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Add a little salt and a teaspoon of cooking oil to the flour. Add an appropriate amount of warm water and knead it into a dough. Cover it with a wet towel and let it rise for 20 minutes

   

2. 2 Knead the dough again into a smooth dough and let it rise for another 15 minutes

   

3. 3 Add a quarter teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of cooking wine, half a teaspoon of pepper, minced ginger, and a little chicken powder to the minced meat. Add the prepared chicken stock in three batches and mix well in a clockwise direction. Finally, add chopped green onion and mix well

   

4. 4 Roll the proofed dough into a long strip and cut it into about 15 grams of dough with a kitchen knife for later use

   

5. 5 Use a rolling pin to roll it into a dough that is thin on the edges and slightly thick in the middle

   

6. 6 Pick the meat filling and fold it into small buns

   

7. 7 Wrap them in order for later use

   

8. 8 Pour boiling water into the steamer, brush a layer of cooking oil on the steamer, and put the wrapped buns on top (I don’t have a steamer at home, so I used a steamer). Steam over high heat for eight minutes, and then steam for three minutes
