Hey there!
Since I’m Chinese, I thought why don’t I share a Chinese recipe with you guys!
I will teach you 2 recipes of the Mantou (the steamed bun) and the Yao tiu (deep fried cullers).
Hope you will enjoy cooking!
the so calles fried buns, Shengjian mantou
these are the normal mantous, you will make these with the recipe.
This is what you need for 20 pieces:
5oo grams of flour 2 Bowls
1 tablespoon yeast 1 steamer or 2 baskets
1 tablespoon sugar 1 towel
375 millilitre warm water
1. So first you have to do 4 tablespoons of warm water in a bowl and drizzle the yeast and the sugar in it. Then you let it stand for 15 minutes.
2. Now the time is over you get another bowl and you put the flour in it. And make a hole in the middle of the flour where you can do the yeast mixture in it and put the rest of the warm water in it. Now you can mix it up to dough.
3. Sprinkle some flour on the table ( or cutting board or kitchen dresser ) and knead the dough. Stop with kneading when the dough feels soft and looks equal.
4. Put the dough back in the bowl and put a warm towel above it, so it can rise. On this picture you can see what I mean.
Let it stand for 1 hour, let it rise to the size that’s twice so big.
5. then you can knead the dough again, after you kneaded you put it back into the bowl and put the towel over it again for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes you take the dough out of the bowl again and knead it. Make 20 dough balls of it.
7. Take the balls and put them in the steamer ( you can also use basket ) and make sure they have a distance of 3,5 cm of each ball.
8. let them steam for 10 minutes until they are firm and well-done.
Now you can serve them warm. Bon à petite! ~
now the yao tiu, you can see how they look like, at the bottom of this page.
what you need for 10 pieces:
575 grams flour
70 grams brown sugar
2 eggs
300 millilitre plant oil
250 millilitre water
1 bowl
1 wok
1. mix the flour and the water and knead it to dough
2. if you use sugar , you can put it in a little bit of water to solve. Beat the eggs and put it together with the sugar. Then you put this mixture or only the eggs (if you don’t use the sugar). Then you mix it until it is smooth and elastic.
3. Put the dough on a greased surface, shape it like a long roll and cut it into 10 pieces of rolls. Shape every roll like a stretched strip. Fold it double.
4. Heat the oil in a wok and fry it, when they look dark brown and when they are crispy. Take them out of the wok and let them leak on paper towels.
Serve them how you like them the best.
You can serve them with Chinese tea or/and cooked rice.
Have a lot of fun with cooking!
