Steamed Pork Pao ( 鲜肉包子)

I made pao again, this time is "bak pao". I love this dough recipe, easy and save time! This recipe makes the dough a lot smoother and fluffier. I used pao flour, it is whiter than regular flour and it is super fine in texture. I make a filling with minced meat, garlic, onions, ginger, jicama, pepper, salt, sugar,  sweet soy sauce, thick black sauce, shao xing wine and sesame oil.

我又做了包子,这次是“肉包”。我喜欢这个面团配方,简单省时间!这个配方做出来的面团很光滑和蓬松。我用的是面包粉,它比普通的面粉更白,质地非常细腻。馅料里头使用了猪肉碎,大蒜,洋葱,生姜,沙葛和胡椒粉,盐,糖,甜酱油,浓黑酱,绍兴酒和芝麻油调味。


Before I start making the dough I need to have my filling ready, because it goes in before proofing.
在我开始制作面团之前,我需要准备好馅料,因为它在包子发酵之前包入。
