Square melon buns (pumpkin)--the most authentic steamed buns with vegetarian filling

Overview

In this season, the shadow of square melon is everywhere. Many people here plant a few square melon trees in the open space outside the yard. If they are in a community, they will plant a few in the green belt. The green and pollution-free ones are called square melons, in some places they are called hanging melons, and in others they are called pumpkins. The name is different, it's something like the picture below. This was given to me by someone. Haha. But the one she gave me was older, tender and green, so you don’t need to peel it for steaming buns, stir-frying, porridge or anything else. The old ones need to be peeled to see its true appearance in Lushan. Now I will share with you the original square melon stuffed buns that are most commonly made here. The ingredients are simple and the ingredients are simple. You can also use this stuffing to bake pies, it is also delicious

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Dissolve the yeast with an appropriate amount of warm water, pour in the flour and mix into a dough, and leave it in a warm place to ferment until it doubles in size (for specific steps, please refer to the prune and vegetable meat buns)

   

2. 2 Then peel the square melon and grate into shreds

   

3. 3 Add appropriate amount of salt and marinate for a while. This step is to remove excess water from the square melon. But it should be noted that salt has already been added in this step. Do not add more when adjusting the filling later, otherwise it will kill people

   

4. 4 When pickling the square melon shreds, we can process the green onions and cut them into chopped green onions

   

5. 5 Put an appropriate amount of corn oil in the pot and sauté the chopped green onion until fragrant. You can add a little more oil as appropriate, just a little more than usual for cooking

   

6. 6 After frying, take it out, pour in appropriate amount of sesame oil while it is hot, and mix well

   

7. 7 Drain the water from the pickled square melon shreds, add the cooled chopped green onion, add an appropriate amount of thirteen spices and mix well to make the square melon filling

   

8. 8 After the inside is ready, you can start wrapping

   

9. 9 Take out the dough and deflate it, knead it evenly, then roll it into a long strip and divide it into appropriate segments

   

10. 10 Then wrap them into buns. After everything is wrapped, ferment them in a pot for 10 to 15 minutes, and then steam them. I use an automatic electric steamer and select the steamed bun option. The buns will be cooked in 20 minutes and the steamer will start steaming in about 2 minutes

    

11. 11 Because I had separated out some square melon shreds to make pancakes, I steamed a steamed bun

    

12. 12 It’s ready to eat
