What makes this bao recipe special is the HARVEST GOURMET™ SENSATIONAL™ Ground Mince —it steams to a tender, juicy texture with a robust flavour that takes centre stage with every mouthful.

FILLING
1. In a bowl, mix all ingredients for the filling together and set aside.
BAO
1. In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, wheat starch and sugar together.
2. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add in yeast and lukewarm water.
3. Gently dissolve the yeast with the water, slowly bring together the flour mixture and add in the oil.
4. Knead with hands for 10-15 minutes or until a soft dough is formed. It should be smooth and shiny
on the surface. Then, cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise for 60 minutes in ambient
temperature.
5. Dissolve the baking powder in cold water. Sprinkle this mixture over the dough and knead until well combined.
6. Roll the dough into a log, then cut and divide the dough to 10 equal portions. Use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball to a 4” circle and place a portion of the filling in the middle.
7. Wrap and fold the dough up into a bao shape. Pinch and twist to enclose the opening, and make sure the chicken bao is sealed tight at the top.
8. Place each bao on a 2” x 3” piece of parchment paper and arrange the baos on a steamer, leaving about a 1-inch gap in between the baos.
9. Steam the baos in the preheated steamer on high heat for 10 minutes.
