Soba Noodles with Lotus Leaf Bun
1.
Soba noodles and all-purpose flour are mixed, the yeast powder is melted with warm water, heated with warm water, stirred with chopsticks to form a floc, and then kneaded into a smooth dough.
2.
Cover with plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place to ferment to double the size. Dip dry powder with your finger and poke it.
3.
Knead the dough, exhaust, and divide it into 8 doses evenly
4.
Take a potion and roll it into a round or round shape
5.
Brush corn oil on the surface
6.
fold
7.
Use a clean comb or a toothed knife back (my knife back happens to have teeth) to press out the pattern. The pattern should be pressed deeper to avoid flattening after the second fermentation.
8.
Use the back of a comb or a knife to push in on the top of each pattern to make it recessed, more like a lotus leaf
9.
On the stem of the lotus leaf, use your index finger and thumb to pinch out the sharp corners, so that a lotus leaf cake is ready. Complete the others in sequence, in a hot pot under cold water, steam for 15 minutes after steaming, stuffing for two minutes
10.
The lotus leaf cake is ready
11.
With my own homemade capers and minced pork and braised beef (if you are interested, please refer to my recipe for capers minced pork and braised beef). It's very convenient to eat.
Tips:
Because it is mixed with soba noodles, its toughness and gluten are worse than that of plain white noodles, so you should not add more soba noodles, otherwise the lotus leaf cake will break from the roots due to lack of toughness. For those who want that soft taste, it is best to make lotus leaf bun with pure white noodles.
