Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of yeast, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add 1 cup of warm water, mixing until you form a soft dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Make the Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook 500g of ground beef. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until the beef is fully cooked and the flavors meld together. Once cooked, stir in 2 chopped green onions and remove from heat to cool slightly.
Assemble the Buns
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a small circle, place a spoonful of beef filling in the center, and pinch the edges to seal the bun.
Steam the Buns
- Place the buns onto a steamer lined with parchment paper. Ensure they have space to expand as they cook. Steam for about 15 minutes over high heat, or until they become fluffy and light.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once cooked, serve your Steamed Stuffed Beef Buns warm, perhaps with a side of soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy this delightful culinary creation with everyone around the table!
Notes
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For long-term storage, freeze after steaming. Reheat in a steamer for about 10-12 minutes.
