Homemade NIKUMAN (Chinese Steamed Bun with a filling of pork) おうちで肉まん

I made NIKUMAN(Steamed Bun with a filling of pork meat )!

I knew Nikuman is delicious, that's why I made them. But I didn't expect to succeed sooooo well!!!
Am I genius? Am I born to cook NIKUMAN?
Haha! I'm joking!

In Japan, We can buy Nikuman at grocery or at CVS.
I was curious to know how does homemade  one work. Is it difficult to cook? Is it yummy?
Now, I can tell you that Homemade Nikuman is worth to cook at home! it's so delicious, nice and soft!
Ok. Let's cook them!

Knead!

2. Let's make a filling next! Mince Leek and SHITAKE mushroom. In a bowl, Combine all Filling ingredients together. Keep in refrigerator.
minced Leek
you can use food processor.
mix well till sticky.
3. Punch down dough! Divide it into 8 equal size and Roll it into ball shape. Cover loosely with clean well-wrung cloth. Bring water to boil and Set a Steamer.
Punch!!



4. Roll each dough into circle shape with roll pins. place 1/8 of filling mixture on a dough and wrap. then put each of them on Wax paper.


pinch with your fingers tightly. if not, it could open.
Practice makes perfect!

5. When steam starts to rise from steamer, turn down the heat. (Don't burn!! Steamer is hot!!!) Place bun on steamer tray leaving about 2 inch between each buns. Put on the steamer lid. Turn the flame up to high, Steam for 12 to 15 minutes.
Again, Be careful!

Enjoy! it's very tasty!

おうちで肉まんを作ってみました。
こ、こ、こ、こんなに上手く出来るなんてビックリした!何、私、天才なの?今まで気づかなかったけど、肉まんを作るために生まれてきた???
というくらい、美味しく出来ました。てへ。
出来たてをかぷりっといきたいね。

551の蓬莱の肉まんやコンビニの肉まんより、家で作った方が断然美味しいと私は思う。
生地はふわふわ、中はジューシー!

包むのは案外難しくって、ちょっといびつになってしまったけど、それもご愛嬌♪
うふふ。
ではレシピを。

*材料*8個分
(生地)

牛乳(人肌に温めたもの) 125ml
サラダオイル 大さじ1
塩 小さじ1/4

強力粉 125g
薄力粉 125g
グラニュー糖 大さじ3
ドライイースト 小さじ1
BP 小さじ1


(具)
豚ひき肉 170g
椎茸 3こ
長ネギ(青い固い部分は使わない) 1本
ショウガ(すりおろしたもの) 大さじ1/2
ごま油 小さじ1/2
塩  小さじ1/2
醤油 大さじ1
砂糖 小さじ1/2
みりん  大さじ1/2
胡椒 少々

*作り方*
1. ボウルに、生地の材料を全て入れて10分くらい捏ねる。まとめて、ラップをして暖かいところで30分~1時間程発酵させる。

2. 生地を発酵させてる間に具を作る。長ネギ、椎茸をみじん切りにし、具の材料全てをねっとりしてくるまでよく手で混ぜる。

3. 生地が2倍程度に膨らんだら、パンチをしてガス抜きをし、8等分し丸める。乾かないように、濡れ布巾をかぶせておく。このへんで、蒸し器を沸かし始める。

4. 生地を綿棒で伸ばす。中央は分厚く端っこは薄くなるように伸ばし、具の1/8量を真ん中にのせて包む。蒸している途中にパカっと開いてしまうので、しっかり包んで閉じる。クッキーングシートの上にのせておく。
コツを掴むまで何度か練習する必要あり!

5. 蒸し器の蒸気が立ちだしたら肉まん同士の間隔をあけて肉まんをおき、強火で約12~15分蒸す。

できました〜♪

すごく美味しいので、是非是非作ってみて下さいね。
私、また近いうちに作ってみようと思うわ。
もうちょっと包むの練習して、カレーまんやあんまんにも挑戦するわ!ウキウキ☆
