Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, yeast, and warm water.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. - 2
Prepare the Filling:
• In a food processor, combine ground beef, egg, onion, scallions, salt, black pepper, five-spice powder, soy sauces, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
• Blend until well mixed, then set aside. - 3
Shape the Dough:
• After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles.
• Roll the dough into a long log and divide it into 21 pieces (each piece should weigh about 35 g).
• Roll each piece into a round wrapper, making the edges thinner than the center. - 4
Fill and Seal:
• Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
• Pinch the edges together to seal, forming a pleated baozi. Make sure the seal is tight to prevent it from opening during steaming. - 5
Let the Baozi Rise Again:
• Place the filled baozi on parchment paper in the steamer basket, leaving space between each one.
• Cover the steamer with the lid and let the baozi rise until they double in size and become light and puffy. - 6
Steam the Baozi:
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the steamer basket over it.
• Steam over high heat for 12-15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let them rest for 3 minutes before opening the lid. Enjoy!

Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns) Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns)
These nikuman have fluffy and light yet still nicely chewy dough, and a ginger-scented filling. If you wrap them this way it's easy and the results are very neat.http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/aigomi2087This method makes dough that is light and fluffy even when the room temperature is below 25°C, so in the summertime the pre-proofing step is not necessary. You can just mix all the ingredients up at room temperature.It's probably not possible to steam the buns all at once, so you can steam half and pan fry half to enjoy the buns in two ways.
