Chef Annie takes you through how to make Bao (Chinese buns) and Sui Mai (Chinese dumplings) from scratch. While these are commonly thought of as Chinese, many Asian cultures have some form of buns and dumplings. These two items are common staples in breakfasts/brunches like dim sum.
The word bao literally translates into bun in Chinese. Traditionally filled with pork, bao are round, smooth, white, warm, soft buns with filling. This recipe will show how to make the traditional pork bao as well as a vegetarian bun with kale and shiitake mushrooms.
Shu Mai are traditional Chinese dumplings that are commonly served in dim sum. The most common filling is ground pork and chopped shrimp, which will be shown in this recipe, although the filling can vary based on the season.
Chef Annie takes you through the process of creating pork sui mai, pork bao, and a vegetarian bao with kale and mushroom. She will show you how to make your buns look like they do in stores and restaurants. In addition to the buns and dumplings, a simple dipping sauce recipe is included.
