How to make willow leaf buns

Food is the most important thing for people, so a healthy body is of course inseparable from nutritious and delicious food. Chinese food pays attention to color, aroma and taste. If you want to eat delicious food, good cooking skills are of course indispensable. Today I will introduce the method of making willow leaf buns to friends who like cooking!

1. First, take 10 tablespoons of flour and put it in a kneading bowl, then take a bowl of warm water and add a small amount of sugar. This is to make the taste of the dough sweet and increase the sweetness of the starch in the mouth. Add another teaspoon of yeast and mix well. Add yeast water to flour and knead into a smooth dough, making sure it is neither too soft nor too hard.

3. The dough is fermented in the oven. To check whether the fermentation is done, just press your finger to see if there is a small groove and it does not bounce back. At this time, the dough will also emit a charming sweet wine smell.

4. Now you can start preparing the filling. Chop the cabbage, add a small amount of salt, let it sit for a while, squeeze out the water, put it in a seasoning bowl, then add pork, chopped green onion, chopped ginger, a small amount of pepper, salt, MSG, soy sauce, sesame oil, and eggs and mix well. Eggs are added here because it can make the filling more moist, so that after steaming, the filling will not fall apart due to being too dry, affecting its taste. (This step can also be done in advance when the dough is fermenting, which can save more time~)

5. Place the fermented dough on the chopping board to release the air, roll it into a cylinder, and then cut it into equal pieces.

6. Flatten the dumplings and roll them into a skin that is slightly thinner around the edges and slightly thicker in the middle. Be careful not to roll the skin too thin, as it is not a dumpling, so the skin of the buns should still be thick enough.

7. Haha, the next step is to wrap it. I like this step the most because I can give it my all and wrap it in any shape I want. It feels like the plasticine I played with when I was a child. hey-hey. But this time it’s still a pretty standard package. Scoop a large piece of filling and put it in the center of the skin. Then pinch one end tightly, pull the skin on the left and the right, and you can wrap it into a willow leaf. Maybe you are not very clear about how to wrap it after I say this. You can watch the video on the Internet and you will know it after searching. Because you may need to watch the process in person to guess how to wrap it, but if you find it troublesome, just wrap it according to your own preference, triangular, rectangular, bunny shape, etc., just wrap it however you like.

11. The exciting moment has arrived. Now you can see the finished buns. It’s my first time making them, so they don’t look particularly good. Please forgive me.

While there is still plenty of time, please try making it yourself, so that you can truly enjoy food and enjoy life.
