Mantou 饅頭

Since Taro has been suffering from diarrhea, I made Mantou for him from scratch.

Stir fried pork and vegetables with Sweet bean sauce.(回鍋肉）

Chinese Vermicelli Soup

I thought Taro would like the Mantou, but I was wrong. He doesn't want to eat anything except breastfeed milk! I think I always say it many times whenever he gets sick. :(

Here's the Mantou recipe.

Ingredients

200 g all purpose flour (put aside 100g flour to another bowl)

110g water(room temprature)

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon yeast

a pinch of salt

Method

Place 100g flour and other all dry ingredients in a bowl.

Add water and stir until incorporated.

Cover the wet towel on the bowl and leave it for 1 hour until bubbles.

Add the rest of 100g flour. Mix everything to a dough.

Turn it onto a floured board and knead until smooth.

Roll the dough into a cylindrical shape and cut into 6 pieces.

Place the dough in the steamer. Leave them for 30 minutes.

Steam them for 15 minutes.

Serve with hot.

It go with any dish. I like to eat it with butter and strawberry jam for breakfast. :)
