Title: DOW SAH BOW/ CHA SIU BOW
Categories: Chinese, Breads
Yield: 6 servings

1 Cake of fresh compressed
-yeast
1 3/4 c Of warm water
3/4 c Of sugar
1 ts Baking powder
6 1/2 c Unsifted all purpose flour

First you need to make the dough. This dough is good
for steamed or baked ‘bows’ (buns). It will yield 2
dozen buns:

For the dough, you need:

Dissolve 1/2 yeast cake with sugar in warm water.
Immediately add baking powder and then the flour. The
dough will be firm and fairly dry. Knead on board for
20 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth. Place in
a mixing bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave in a
dry warm draft-free place until dough doubles in bulk.
(about 2 1/2 – 3 hours). Punch down the dough and
knead 5 minutes more and it’s ready to be stuffed.

If you want Cha Siu Bow, you’ll need:

4 cups of finely diced barbecued pork 1/2 cup
dehydrated onion flakes

For the sauce (in Cha Siu Bow) use: 2 tsp Hoisin Sauce
2 tsp Sherry 4 tsp Oyster Sauce 2 tsp Ketchup 1 tsp
Sugar 1 1/2 tb Cornstarch 1 1/2 cup Chicken Stock

Soak the onion flakes in a cup with enough water to
cover flakes. Mix sauce ingredients in a small sauce
pan. Cook over medium high heat until sauce thickens.
Stir in diced pork and onion flakes. Chill for 3 – 4
hours.

If you want Dow Sah Bows, use a can of sweet red bean
paste.

Divide the filling (pork mixture or sweet bean paste)
into 24 portions. Divide dough into 24 balls. Slightly
flatten each ball then roll out into 4 inch discs,
leaving the center twice as thick as the side. Place 1
portion of the filling in the centre. Gather up the
sides around the filling, twist dough to seal. Place
on a 2 inch square piece of wax paper, twist side
down. Allow buns to rise in draft-free place for
another hour.

You can cook them by steaming them 15 minutes. This
will give you a white bun.

You can also bake these. Preheat oven to 350. Brush
with a mixture of 1 beaten egg white, 1 tsp and 1/4
tsp sugar. Bake 20 – 25 minutes until golden brown.
Brush with melted butter. From “Dim Sum” by Rhoda Yee.

JASMIN TEA SOUFFLE

Recipe By : CHEF DU JOUR #DJ9308
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 cup Jasmin tea
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 Tahitian vanilla beans
1/2 cup honey
10 eggs, separated
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar for yolks
1/4 cup sugar for whites

Bring to a simmer the cream, milk and vanilla. Add the tea and simmer
for 10 minutes. Take off stove and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain and
reheat liquid with the honey. Whisk together yolks, sugar and
cornstarch. Temper mixture with simmering liquid and put back on
stove. Reduce heat. Whisk constantly until a pastry cream consistency
is achieved, about 35 minutes. Spread base in small hotel pan, butter
the top and refrigerate. May be made 24 hours in advance.

Lift egg whites on slow speed with a little of the sugar until a wet soft
peak is reached. Add the rest of the sugar and whisk at high speed for
only 5 seconds. Transfer to stainless steel bowl and gently fold in base
at a ratio of 50/50. Bake in buttered and sugared ramekins on preheated
sheet tray at 375 for 12 minutes. Check soufflés after 6 minutes
to make sure one edge is not catching. If so, quickly open door and
carefully slice the sticking side with a sharp pairing knife. The
soufflé should straighten itself out. Pull out of oven and powder
sugar the soufflés.
Yield: 4 servings

NOTES :

WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces Meats
Pasta

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 oz Dried mushrooms
12 oz Assorted fresh mushrooms
– (chanterelle, cultivated,
– shiitake, oyster)
2 tb Unsalted butter
1 tb Finely minced garlic
1 tb Finely minced shallots
-ÿÿOnions
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 c Sherry or Madeira
1/2 c Whipping cream

This sauce has an intensely woodsy flavor that would be good on pasta,
roast chicken or pork.
TO RECONSTITUTE DRIED MUSHROOMS, place them in a bowl and cover with 3 cups
of warm water. Soak for at least 2 hours or up to 8. When mushrooms are
soft, drain and reserve water and squeeze out as much water as you can from
the mushrooms. Pour the mushroom water through a double layer of
cheesecloth or a cloth towel to remove any sand that may have been lurking
in the mushrooms. Reserve 1 cup of liquid for this recipe. (Pour the
remaining mushroom water into a plastic container or airtight bag, label
and freeze for up to a year to use in soups and sauces.) Wash the fresh
mushrooms and pat dry. (Slice chanterelles and cultivated mushrooms, trim
and discard the stems of shiitake mushrooms, and trim and discard root tips
of oyster mushrooms.) Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat
and add the reconstituted dried mushrooms, garlic, shallots and salt. Cook,
stirring, for 10 minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms and continue to cook
another 10 minutes. Add the reserved mushroom water and sherry. Increase
the heat to high and cook until the liquid reduces by about 2/3. Add the
cream and cook until the liquid reduces to a saucelike consistency and is
thick enough to coat a spoon.
