Directions
Martin Yan’s Golden Chinese Baked Buns (Baos), This is a recipe from Martin Yan’s television show Chinatowns. A great snack or light lunch or as dim sum. Filling can be sweet, for example custard or a paste made of condensed milk and butter or savory-BBQ pork is a common one. Experiment! Note: Prep time does not include the time needed for the dough to rise., Sorry but this was really terrible. I halved the recipe and the buns turned out super salty! I think the proportion of the yeast was wrong coz there wasn’t any salt called for in the recipe., This recipe is perfect! The dough seems like it is too wet, but when you start working with it, it’s very nice. I made Ridgely’s Chinese Barbeque Pork Chinese Barbeque Pork for the filling and it was just like the ones we’ve purchased! I will be making these often! Thank blucoat for sharing this….it’s excellent!!!
