A delicious Hot-Water Dough Steamed Buns with Shepherd’s Purse, Shiitake Mushrooms and Chicken recipe.
Prepare the filling: Mince the chicken, finely chop the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, and thaw the frozen shepherd’s purse. Squeeze out excess water from the shepherd’s purse and chop finely.
Season the filling: Combine the minced chicken with ginger paste, minced ginger, minced garlic, five-spice powder, onion powder, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and salt. Mix well in one direction until sticky. Stir in the seasoning oil, chopped shiitake mushrooms, and chopped onion. Finally, fold in the shepherd’s purse and mix evenly.
Make the hot-water dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and buckwheat flour. Pour in the boiling water and stir quickly with chopsticks to form flaky shreds. Then add the room-temperature water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
Shape the buns: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a round wrapper. Place a generous amount of filling in the center, pleat and seal the bun.
Steam the buns: Place the shaped buns in a steamer lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves. Steam over boiling water for 15–18 minutes. Turn off the heat and let rest for 2–3 minutes before opening the lid. Serve and enjoy!
