Chinese Dessert Recipes
Red Bean Bun or Tau Sar Pau (豆沙包) are steamed Chinese desserts that you can find on every Chinese restaurant in Malaysia. These steamed buns are Chinese traditional food and are also included in the local dim sum menu. These steamed buns that are featured in our Chinese dessert recipes are quite simple to follow but provided that you knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. You must allow it some time for it to rise in order to have that nice bread texture. 60 g Vegetable Shortening; room temperature 1 kg Pau Flour 4 tsp Baking Powder 240 g Castor Sugar 30 g Instant Yeast 400 ml Warm Water 400 g Red Bean Paste 1 roll Waxed Paper; cut into even squares Method Using a spoon, divide red bean paste into equal small balls. Set aside for later use. Dust your worktop lightly with pau flour. Mix together pau flour with castor sugar, yeast and shortening. Dust your palms lightly with flour as well before you begin to knead. Knead with the base of your palms. Stop kneading when dough no longer sticks to your palms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for about 30 minutes for the dough to rise. Remove cloth and knead again for about 10 minutes. Leave to rise for another 20 minutes. Roll risen dough lengthwise and cut into equal portions. Using a rolling pin, roll each portion into a flat circle. Fill the centre with red bean paste ball. Pull the dough upwards to wrap around the paste and twist at the end of the dough to make a slight knot. Place ready to steam buns onto the paper square. Leave for about 10 - 15 minutes for the buns to rise before steaming over rapidly boiling water. Steam for 15 minutes. Best when serve hot from the steamer but watch the hot red bean filling as you eat. _________________________ Return from Red Bean Bun to Chinese Dessert Recipes |
