If you do something wrong in the process of steaming steamed bread, the following will happen to steamed bread:
Wait, it's easy to steam the steamed bread and steamed buns that should be done well, just because the steaming steps are used in the wrong way, which leads to the poor taste of the finished products. In this issue, the deer will not teach you how to make steamed buns, so let's share how to steam them correctly, regardless of steamed meat buns, vegetable buns or steamed buns. Remember the three tricks of steaming steamed buns, which are soft, full and delicious.
The following three steamed bun moves are suitable for all kinds of handmade steamed buns and ready-made quick-frozen steamed buns.
1 trick, steam cold water into the pot:
For many friends, the most common way to steam things is to put water into the pot. In fact, for steamed buns, whether handmade or frozen, it is better to put cold water into the pot, so that the steamed buns can be steamed with strong fire, and the water in the pot will be heated until it boils, and the steamed buns will gradually heat up and be heated evenly, which will make the steamed buns feel fluffy and taste better.
Especially quick-frozen steamed buns, if boiled water is directly put into the pot, it is easy to cause the skin to alternate hot and cold too quickly and crack, and the steamed buns will not look good.
The second measure is to control the steaming time.
Besides controlling the steaming time according to the size of steamed buns, it is also necessary to adjust the steaming time appropriately according to the different fillings.
Because the steaming time is too long, not only the steamed bread will be overcooked, but also the steam in the pot will be particularly sufficient, and water droplets will fall on the steamed bread, which will easily wet the steamed bread and cause local dough adhesion.
Take steamed bread of normal size as an example. If it is steamed bread, it only needs to be steamed for about 8 minutes 10. If it is meat stuffing or vegetarian dishes, it needs to be extended to 12~ 15 minutes, and the stuffed buns need to be slightly longer.
In addition, some steamed stuffed buns have liquid fillings, such as quicksand steamed buns and walnut steamed buns, which are the most famous restaurants in Guangzhou. The filler is liquid. If the steaming time is too long, the stuffing will overheat and the whole steamed bun will burst. Generally, liquid stuffed buns take about 8~ 10 minutes, and then stew for a while is enough.
The third measure is to simmer for a while.
No matter steamed bread, vegetarian steamed buns or glutinous rice balls, turn off the fire after steaming, and don't rush out of the pot. Instead, continue to cover the lid after turning off the fire, let the steamed buns stew in the pot with waste heat for 3~5 minutes, and then take them out to taste. This operation can prevent the steamed stuffed bun from collapsing.
Because the steamed stuffed bun is full of hot air, if you just turn off the fire and open the lid, the steamed stuffed bun will suddenly shrink when it gets cold.
If the internal tissue is not done well, the steamed stuffed bun will collapse directly, but the most common situation is that the skin and tissue of the steamed stuffed bun are separated, and bubbles bulge out, which will make the taste of the steamed stuffed bun worse.
Therefore, in order to make steamed bread and steamed buns delicious, the whole process of steaming steamed buns should not be sloppy except mixing dough or stuffing. Whether it's steamed meat buns, vegetable buns or steamed bread, remember to put cold water into the pot to steam and control the steaming time. After steaming the steamed bread, stew it with waste heat for 3-5 minutes, master the three tricks of steaming the steamed bread, and ensure that no matter whether you steam the quick-frozen steamed bread or the handmade steamed bread, it is soft and full.
