1
To make the dough
-
2
Add the flours, yeast, sugar, water and salt in a large bowl, mix thoroughly, and knead the dough until smooth and not sticky.
-
3
You can also use mixer.
-
4
You may need to adjust the consistency by adding more flour or water.
-
5
Oil the bowl and dough, cover with a damp towel.
-
6
Allow the dough to double in size in a warm and draf-free spot for about 1 hour.
-
7
Meanwhile start to make the filling:
-
8
Put all the filling ingredients into a large mixing bowl, and stir until well combined.
-
9
Allow the mixture to stand for about 20 minutes to let the flavor combine together.
-
10
After the steps above:
-
11
Punch the dough down, and divide the dough into 20 balls equally.
-
12
Then ball into a 5-inch diameter round wrap.
-
13
To prevent the wraps stick together, make sure to separate them.
-
14
Top each wrap with about 1/4 cup to 13 cup fillings.
-
15
Then fold the wrap all the way to the center, and make sure seal it very well.
-
16
Repeat the steps until finish all the ingredients.
-
17
Place the buns onto a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
18
Cover loosely with the damp towel and let rise, about 30 minutes.
-
19
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.
-
20
Add the buns smooth side down, one after another closely together to the skillet.
-
21
Turn the heat to medium-low or low to prevent the bottom from being burnt.
-
22
Cook the buns in the pan for about 5 minutes, lift up one or two with a spatula to see if the bottom is almost golden and starts becoming brown.
-
23
If so, drizzle about 4 tablespoons of water around the edges, cover the pan and let the steam cook the buns, about 4 minutes.
-
24
Drizzle another 4 tablespoons of water around the edges, cover the pan and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes until the buns are puffed.
-
25
Drizzle another 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over dumplings, cover and let cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the buns are completely cooked.
-
26
Remove from the pan and let cool for at least a few minutes.
-
27
The steam from the buns when you bite into it is very hot, so make sure to cool them first.
-
28
Serve warm with dipping sauce.
-
29
For the dipping sauce:
-
30
Mix together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
-
31
You may need to adjust the seasoning by adding more vinegar and soy sauce.
-
32
You can also add a bit hot pepper flakes if needed.
-
33
Put one or two tablespoons of dipping sauce in the individual dumpling serving bowl or plate and dip the dumplings into it.
-
34
Enjoy!
-
35
Note: The sticky buns are extremely hot when they are just out of the pan, be careful of the hot steam when you bite into it.
-
36
Let them cool for about 5 minutes, or cut into half.
