Chicken Steamed Buns (Banh Bao Ga) Recipe

Ingredients:

Dough

1 bag steamed bun flour

1/2 cup Sugar

1 cup Milk

1 Tbsp. Oil

Filling

1 cup Napa Cabbage

1/2 cup Shiitake Mushrooms

1/4 cup chopped Onion

1 tsp. minced Garlic

1 tsp. chopped Shallots

1 tsp. Sesame Seed Oil

1 tsp. Soy Sauce

1 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce

1 tsp. Black Pepper

1 tsp. Sugar

1 lb. Ground Chicken

3 Egg Whites

Mix 1/2 cup Sugar with 1 cup Milk.  Add in 1 bag of Steamed Buns Flour, remember to save about 1/4 cup to coat later.  Pour in the milk mixture and knead into a dough. Add more milk if needed. When it starts to form into a dough add in 1 Tbsp. Oil.  You want the dough to be semi sticky, but not too sticky that you can’t handle with your hands. Cover and let it doubles in size.

To make the filling, mix 1 lb. Ground Chicken, 1/2 cup cut Shiitake Mushrooms, 1 cup Napa Cabbage,1/4 cup chopped Onion, 1 tsp. chopped Shallots, 1 tsp. minced Garlic, 3 Egg Whites, 1 tsp. Sesame Seed Oil, 1 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce, 1 tsp. Soy Sauce, 1 tsp. Sugar, 1 tsp. Black Pepper and mix.

When the dough is ready divide it into equal pieces.  Roll one piece out flat and add in the filling.  Pinch the top together.  Repeat until you used up all the dough and filling.  Steam in steamer for 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the buns.
