Tangbao [0000979]

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
3/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup gluten-free ground pork or chicken
1/4 cup gluten-free minced bamboo shoots
1/4 cup gluten-free green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and hot water. Stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a clean, floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free ground pork or chicken, minced bamboo shoots, chopped green onions, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and ground white pepper. Mix well.

After the dough has rested, roll it into a long log shape and cut it into small pieces, about the size of a ping pong ball.

Flatten each dough piece into a circle with your palm, making the edges thinner than the center.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle.

Carefully gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together at the top to seal the bun, leaving a small opening in the center to allow the soup to fill the bun.

Place the filled buns on a parchment paper-lined steamer tray or bamboo steamer, leaving some space between them.

Steam the buns over boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until they become translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Carefully remove the steamer tray from the heat.
