  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound Chinese cabbage (shredded)
  • 1 carrot (minced)
  • 2-3 green onion stalks (chopped)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1-2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 Teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ Teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 Teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 2-3 Teaspoon cooking wine
  • salt and pepper
  • adjust seasoning to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour and yeast in a mixing bowl
  • Add water and kneed until a solid dough ball forms.
  • If it get too sticky, add more flour. If it is too dry, add more water.
  • Cover and let the dough rise for 2 hours.
  • Cook half the ground pork in a pan, add it to the raw pork.
  • Mix the pork with the shredded cabbage, minced carrot, green onions, beaten egg, ground ginger, olive oil, chicken bouillon powder, oyster sauce, cooking wine, salt and pepper.
  • Once the dough has risen, dust the countertop with flour and into a long rope shape using the 'windmill technique'. (see photo)
  • Cut the dough rope into ½" pieces. Roll each piece into a wrapper.
  • Spoon ½ a tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
  • Carefully pinch and fold the wrapper closed, twisting the top to finish. Make sure to press the dough tight to seal the top.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil. Place the Baos in a steaming basket lined with cabbage leaves, to prevent sticking and place the basket on top of the boiling pot of water.
  • Close lid.
  • Steam for 15 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and let Baos rest for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy warm and remember the love.
