STEAMED PORK BUNS WITH HOISIN DIPPING SAUCE
Provided by Sandra Lee
Time 35m
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Special equipment: 1 (2 1/2 or 2 3/4-inch) biscuit cutter; steamer, steamer basket or bamboo steamer
- For the pork buns: Bring 2 cups water to a simmer in a pot that will fit a steamer basket or a bamboo steamer.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the pork, ginger and scallions. Set aside
- Working with 1 dough canister (10 biscuits) at a time, roll out the biscuits with a rolling pin until they are about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Place 1 heaping tablespoon pork mixture in the center of 5 of the biscuits. Cover each with a remaining rolled-out biscuits. Gently press the biscuits together all the way around the filling and to the edges. Place a (2 1/2 or 2 3/4-inch) biscuit cutter on top so that it is centered on the bun. Press down on the cutter to form a clean, sealed edge and remove the excess dough from around the outside of the biscuit cutter. (If you do not have a biscuit cutter then just pinch together the edges of the buns with your fingers.) Place the sealed buns onto a sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Place the buns into the steamer basket. Depending on the size of your steamer, you may have to cook the buns in batches of 5. Place the steamer basket over the pot of simmering water, cover and steam, about 10 minutes. The buns will be puffed and the tops will look somewhat dry and shiny. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes.
- While the buns are steaming, make the hoisin dipping sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water and the vinegar. Serve with the buns.

CHINESE STEAMED DUMPLINGS WITH DIPPING SAUCE
I used to love this Chinese-restaurant appetizer so much that my mother reverse-engineered the recipe. These dumplings have an interesting taste and are great for parties. They also freeze well. Hope you enjoy them--it's worth the work involved.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients for dipping sauce and set aside.
- Lightly oil a large bowl.
- Put the flour and salt in another large bowl, piled up.
- Make a dent in the top of the pile, and crack the egg into it.
- Mix the egg into the flour.
- Add enough water to the mixture to make a thick dough.
- The consistency should be like bread dough.
- In any case, don't add too much water--it shouldn't be like batter at all!
- Turn the dough out onto the flour-dusted counter, and form into a ball.
- (It helps to flour your hands first).
- Place the dough into the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap (cellofane).
- Let stand 1 hour.
- Meanwhile mix all ingredients for filling and place in the fridge.
- Next, remove dough and place on flour-dusted counter (or work surface).
- Knead a bit and flatten until very thin (but not see-through or falling apart).
- Using a large, round cookie-cutter (or bottom of coffee can or top of glass) cut three-inch rounds.
- Don't place them on top of each other, as they could stick together!
- Knead the leftover pieces together again and cut more rounds until there's no dough left.
- Spoon a bit of the filling into the center of each round and fold in half (to make a semi-circle shape).
- Seal edges with a bit of water, and use tongs of a fork to decorate the edge.
- To prepare, either steam the dumplings (if you have a steamer) for 15 mins, or boil for 10 mins.
- If you boil, add some oil to the water and don't overcrowd the pan--make them in batches.
- If you like, you can fry the dumplings in a skillet or wok to brown them before serving.
- Handle gently!

SESAME RICE BALLS WITH RED PEPPER DIPPING SAUCE
Yield Makes about 40 hors d'oeuvres
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Purée bell pepper with vinegar and sugar in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a small heavy saucepan and stir in red pepper flakes. Simmer 5 minutes, then pour through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids.
- Rinse rice in a bowl in several changes of cold water until water is almost clear; drain well in a large sieve. Combine rice and 2 cups water in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and let stand 10 minutes. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook at a rapid boil (lid will be rattling and foam may drip down outside of pan) 5 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
- Transfer warm rice to a large wooden bowl and sprinkle vinegar over it, a little at a time, while gently tossing with a flat wooden paddle or spoon so vinegar is absorbed and rice cools as it is aerated. Cool to room temperature.
- Stir together ginger and wasabi paste and remove edamame beans from pods.
- Have ready a bowl of warm water (for dipping hands and spoon) and a double-thickness 12-inch square of plastic wrap. Holding plastic in palm of 1 hand, put an edamame bean in center and invert a packed tablespoon of rice on top of bean. Gather plastic up around rice and twist tightly to form a ball (bean should still be visible). Unwrap, leaving plastic in your hand, and, going in from side opposite bean, poke a dampened finger into center of ball and fill with 1/4 teaspoon ginger mixture. Close rice over mixture and twist plastic tightly to re-form ball, then flatten slightly. Remove rice ball from plastic. Sprinkle sesame seeds over top and sides of rice ball, pressing lightly to adhere (do not coat bean with seeds). Transfer rice ball, bean side up, to a plate.
- Make more rice balls in same manner.
- Serve rice balls with dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful chicken and fragrant pandan leaves to create the best-tasting rice balls.
- Use a quality steamer: Ensure the steamer you use is large enough to accommodate the rice balls and has a tight-fitting lid to prevent steam from escaping.
- Steam the rice balls until they are cooked through: To check if they are done, insert a skewer or chopstick into the center of a rice ball. If it comes out clean, the rice balls are cooked.
- Use a dipping sauce that complements the flavors of the rice balls: The dipping sauce should be flavorful and tangy to balance the savory taste of the rice balls.
- Serve the rice balls hot and fresh: Steamed chicken rice balls are best enjoyed hot out of the steamer, accompanied by the dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Steamed chicken rice balls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking by using different types of chicken, vegetables, and dipping sauces. With a little practice, you can make perfect steamed chicken rice balls that will impress your family and friends.
