Steamed wotou is a staple food in northern part of China where sorghum and corn are the main crops. Traditionally wotou is made of sorghum flour and the texture and taste are quite rough. I have been modified this staple food to flatter modern taste buds by adding Asian yam and honey to make the bread sweet and moist. In order to digest whole grain well, I recommend to soak it overnight at room temperature with 2 Tsp yogurt as a starter.

Craving for delicious foods drives me to be creative in my kitchen all the time. Thanks to my intolerance of all refine foods such as white flour, white rice and sugar, transition to use whole grains through sourdough fermentation, soaking and sprouting seeds has opened a whole new world to me! All my recipes share the same principle of low fat/oil, almost no added sugar/honey, whole grains and as much fermentation Incorporated as possible to unlock its nutritional value and plus lots of made ahead secret ingredients that I've learned over the years. In my pantry, you'll always found stocks of ancient grains (spelt, kamut, millet), brown rice in various varieties, jars of dry beans in multiple color and shapes. Kimchi made with all kinds of seasonal veggies in my fridge and homemade stocks in my freezer all the time. Join me on this journey eat whole 2 thrive!
