How long does it take to steam the buns?

The steaming time of buns is not particularly long, usually they will be ready in about 15 minutes. Of course, this depends on the size of the fire and the size of the buns. Don't take out the buns immediately after steaming them. Put them in the steamer and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the buns to be thoroughly cooked. There are many ways to make buns, you can choose your favorite ingredients and then make them. It is best to eat leavened buns, which have the effect of regulating the stomach.

How long does it take to steam the buns?

How long does it usually take to steam buns? This is related to the amount of steaming. The steaming time must be counted from the time the buns begin to take off. Generally, they are cooked in 15 minutes because it is related to the buns' absorption of heat to the saturation point. Only when the buns absorb heat to the boiling point will they enter the maturation process. Therefore, the time required to absorb heat to the saturation point will be much longer than when the amount of steaming is small. Therefore, the steaming time must be counted from the time the buns begin to take off. 15 minutes is considered cooked.

How to make steamed buns

Dough: 500g all-purpose flour, 6g Angel dry yeast powder, 5g baking soda, 280ml warm water (about 30-40 degrees), 15g white sugar. Filling: 500g lean meat, 1 scallion, 10 mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 25ml light soy sauce, 20ml peanut oil, 1 teaspoon chicken essence, 50ml water. Steps : 1. Activate the yeast: Pour the dry yeast powder into warm water, stir until it melts, and let it stand for 5 minutes. 2. Put the flour in a large bowl and rub the inner wall of the bowl in the same direction until it is shiny and non-sticky. 3. Use one hand to slowly add yeast water to the flour, and with the other hand quickly grab the flour into flocs until all the yeast water is added. (You need to feel the softness of the dough. It usually needs to be softer for making buns. If you feel that there is not enough water, you can continue to add until it is suitable.)

4. Keep kneading the flour until there is no excess flour on your hands and in the bowl. Knead it into a smooth and even dough and cover it with plastic wrap. 5. Prepare a steamer, put in a steamer rack, pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot (not covering the steamer rack), control the water temperature at around 60 degrees, put the basin containing the dough on the steamer rack, the basin cannot be in direct contact with water, cover the steamer and wait for about 20 minutes to allow the dough to ferment. 6. Grind the lean meat into minced meat, put it into a large bowl, slowly pour in clean water, and stir quickly in one direction with chopsticks to make the filling fully absorb water and become sticky; remove the roots and stems of the mushrooms, soak them and cut them into small pieces, chop the green onions, and put them all into the large bowl. 7. Add pepper, salt, light soy sauce, peanut oil and chicken essence, and mix well with your hands to make meat filling. 8. At this time, you can see that the dough has fermented to more than twice its original size. Take out the dough, knead it to expel the air, then knead it into a round shape again, and repeat step 5 for secondary fermentation. 9. Take out the fermented dough, roll it into long strips, pinch it into small pieces of equal size (the small pieces I pinch are the same size as the ones we use to make Cantonese-style crispy dumplings), roll them into a round shape, flatten them, and roll them into round dough. 10. Take a piece of dough and spread it flat on the palm of your left hand. Put enough meat filling on it. Make pleats with your right hand and wrap them into buns. Remember to let the buns rest quietly for 10-20 minutes after wrapping. 11. Apply oil on the inner wall of the steamer and place the buns on the steamer. Make sure there are enough spaces between them to prevent the buns from sticking together when evaporating. 12. Put enough water in the steamer, put the steaming tray with buns into the steamer, and steam for 20 minutes. Don’t eat the steamed buns right away. Let them stay in the pot for about 10 minutes before taking them out and eating.
