Chinese Meat Buns

How to make Chinese Meat Buns


A lot of people have asked about the recipe of the dough:


(A) dissolve one package (1/4 oz) of yeast into 2/3 cup warm water (add 1 teaspoon sugar into water first, the temperature of water is a little warmer than room temp; higher than body temp will KILL the yeast! Be careful!)

(B) Add 1/4 cup sugar to 3/4 cup milk in a pot, heat to dissolve the sugar only. Be careful, not boil the milk, if so you have to let it cool down, because this is going to mix with (A). You'll KILL the yeast when its temp is higher than 37 C!!

Mix (A) and (B), pour the mixture into 3 and 1/2 cups of flour, mix , kneed to form the dough, then let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or the size of dough doubled. (You'll probably think the dough is a bit of sticky, it's OK to add some flour when you mix it, jist some! )

I don't eat pork, is it ok if i used ground chicken or beef? Can we also add peas into it?

[VHDANCE35216]

@koolkatcutey Sure, that will work. But the color of the peas might not be green though.

do you chop the cabbage to very very small pieces? Mine seems like big...chunks... :0

[VHDANCE35216]

@msswen Mine is slightly smaller than 1cmX 1cm.

I was wondering....I want to make something that no one would make... I'm from Dubai and I would adore to make one of these at least.

But the idea of "Date buns" came to my mind. How would you keep the taste of the dates within the bun without overloading it with around 6 dates? I want to keep it as like, 2 dates per bun.

@AdventurousMoh

Well, make the bun smaller!

We used to eat Moon Cake during the Moon festival. There is a flavor of dates and it is quite delicious. I'm not sure what ingredients in the filling, but I'm sure the filling is grinded to a form of paste and sugar (a lot) is added.

You may try your bun this way, and I think you will like it! Good luck!

your no stranger to buns... you know the meat and so do I....

I made some using this recipe, the visual on how to pinch the bun shut was excellent. I didn't see milk in the video but I followed the recipe below with my own filling (chicken, cabbage, ginger, soy sauce, salt, peanut oil, sugar) and the buns came out so fluffy and yeasty/sweet. Very good!

[DemonicAngle15]
