3. Wash and peel the purple sweet potato and cut into thin slices

4. Sprinkle a small amount of water and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes on high heat

5. Take out and mash it with a spoon while it is still hot

6. Add a little salt to the flour, add yeast and mix well. I did not soak the yeast in warm water first, but put it directly into the flour.

7. Pour a small amount of warm water and stir with chopsticks until it becomes flocculent.

8. Pour in a small amount of warm water and stir with chopsticks until it becomes floc-like. I couldn't estimate how much water to use, so I poured half a bowl and felt that it was enough for the flour to be kneaded into a ball, so I didn't use it all.

9. Pour the mashed potatoes into the flour

10. Knead the dough repeatedly to make it shiny, which is what the experts call "shiny bowl, shiny hands, and shiny noodles".

11. The dough has now become a ball. Cover it and wait for it to ferment. I just cover it with the transparent lid of the steamer to make it easier to observe the degree of fermentation. This process takes about 40 minutes

12. Use the time when the dough is fermenting to prepare the meat filling.

13. Chop the pork, mushrooms, black fungus, garlic and ginger into small pieces.

14. Add sugar, salt, soy sauce, chicken essence and cooking oil, beat in the same direction until smooth and set aside

15. The time is up and the dough has fermented. However, I found that it did not rise to 2 times its original size, but only to about 1.5 times. Maybe I should not add mashed potatoes when the flour is stirred into flocs. I should add it after fermentation. I will try it next time.

16. Then deflate the dough. Tear open the dough and smell the smell of yeast. It should have risen just right.

17. Then knead the dough back to its shape before fermentation. Kneading dough is really strenuous work! Is it that I don't get the trick? worn out! I kneaded it for about five minutes, and then I ran out of energy, so I just put it on a floured chopping board and kneaded it into long strips;

18. Use a knife to cut the long strips into equal small portions

19. Use your hands to round and flatten the small dough pieces one by one, and roll them into small round dough sheets.

20. Take a piece of dough in your hand, put in an appropriate amount of the stuffing you prepared earlier, bend your palm slightly, and pleat in the same direction.

21. While beating, let the dough rotate in the palm of your hand until it closes. This process is easier said than done. In fact, the semi-finished product I made was quite ugly. Ha ha

22. Finish all the dough pieces one by one

23. Put the buns into the steamer

24. Cover the lid and let it rest for 15 minutes, then turn on the fire directly. Bring to a boil over high heat and then cook for another 10 minutes (my buns are smaller, a little bigger than the xiaolongbao)

25. When the buns were cooked, they didn't expand much and were flat. I felt that there was not enough stuffing inside. However, I was quite satisfied with the taste. The stuffing was just right. Although it tasted good but not good looking, I was still very happy.

26. I ate all five buns in one meal and was so full. . .
