Pan Fried Bao Zi Recipe by Dandanyummyfood
Cooking Instructions 1-1.5 hour 1 Make the Dough: In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, yeast, and warm water. Knead into a smooth dough, then cover it and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1 hour). 2 Prepare the Filling: In a food processor, combine ground beef, onion, scallions, salt, pepper, five-spice powder, soy sauces, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Blend until well mixed and set aside. 3 Shape the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles. Roll it out into a log and cut it into 21 pieces (around 35 g each). Roll each piece into a thick wrapper, leaving a slight bump in the middle. 4 Fill and Seal: Add a spoonful of the filling to the center of each wrapper. Pinch the edges together to seal, forming the bao zi. 5 Rest the Bao Zi Let the filled bao zi rest for about 15 minutes before cooking. 6 Fry the Bao Zi: Heat some oil in a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Place the bao zi in the pan, flat side down, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. 7 Simmer: Pour the flour and water mixture around the bao zi (not directly on top), cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. 8 Crisp the Bottom: Drizzle a bit more oil around the bao zi and cook until the bottom is thick and golden brown. 9 Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle black sesame seeds and chopped scallions over the fried bao zi before serving.
