Zucchini and leek buns, a fresh and flavorful northern dish that families love. Discover how to make it below!
Prepare ingredients: 1 zucchini, 1 leek, 150 grams of pork filling, 1 egg, 300 grams of flour, salt, chicken essence, ginger, sesame oil.
Make the dough: add the right amount of water to the flour and knead into a smooth dough. Let it rise for half an hour, then roll it into long strips and cut it into even-sized dosages.
Filling: Shred the zucchini, add a pinch of salt and marinate for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the water. Wash and chop the chives, put them into a bowl with the pork filling, egg, ginger, sesame oil, salt and chicken essence, and mix well.
Wrapping the buns: Take a dough and roll it into a bun skin that is thick in the center and thin on both sides. Put in the filling and wrap into your favorite shape.
Steaming the buns: Add a suitable amount of water to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Put the buns into the steamer basket, cover the pot with a lid and steam over high heat for 10-15 minutes.
Steam the buns: Don't remove the lid immediately after turning off the heat, simmer the buns for 5 minutes so that the skin is more tender. Enjoy the buns while they are still hot and flavorful.
Tips:
The zucchini must be salted to remove excess water so that the bun filling does not become watery.
2. You can add shrimp, corn kernels and other side dishes to the filling according to your personal preference.
3. When wrapping the buns, make sure to pinch the mouth tightly to prevent the filling from leaking when steaming.
4. When steaming the buns, don't oversteam them or the texture of the buns will be affected.
5. The buns can be kept frozen and re-steamed hot when you eat them.
