Siu Mai
1.
Put the flour into the bucket of the bread machine, add a small amount of hot water one by one, start the dough mixing program, and form a dough
2.
Cover the noodles and let them rest for 20 minutes
3.
While preparing the noodles, prepare the fillings. Beat the eggs with salt, and fry them into pieces in a non-stick pan over low heat
4.
Pour together the diced zucchini, diced carrot, diced green pepper and egg, add vegetable oil, salt and light soy sauce, mix well
5.
Knead the dough into smooth long strips, cut them into sizeable agents, and squash them.
6.
Use a rolling pin to rotate and roll it into a disc with a slightly thicker middle and thin edges. Because the flour is high in gluten, the dough is very gluten and can be rolled to a translucent level without breaking
7.
Use a spoon to put the right amount of filling in the center of the dough
8.
Hold the bottom with your left hand. While pinching the pleats with your right hand, slowly turn it, and use your left thumb to continuously press the filling inward so that you can pack more fillings. Use the thumb and index finger of your right hand to fold the edges of the dough sheet evenly, and use the remaining fingers to press under the edges. The farther from the edge, the larger the petals, and vice versa the smaller
9.
After finishing, tidy up the shape a bit, and look roughly like the picture. The siu mai is unsealed, so that the filling is easier to be cooked through, and the steam will make it more moisturized
10.
Put it in a basket with a cloth cushion, or a metal basket, put it on the pot, boil the cold water and steam for about 10 minutes. Because it’s a vegetarian filling, it’s easy to cook
11.
Take it out and eat it when finished. The skin is thin and elastic, the filling is full and delicious
Tips:
When mixing the stuffing, you must first add oil, mix well, and then add salt, so that the stuffing will not be juiced during the wrapping process, which will affect the operation.
