I've been away for a few days so the previous posting were on schedule mode that is why I didn't reply to all your comments yet. Please give me some time and I will get to it soon. Anyway, I wanted to make bread of some kind with the Jelly mould but I can’t think of much other than doing something with Bao dough as I can steam it. This is what I can think of and they look pretty cute after steaming it. You can eat this steamed plain mantau with anything. It is sort of like mantau where you eat it with some stew meat. Actually this is the second time I am making this. The first time, I coiled the dough all the way down to the bottom of the mould and after steaming it they were huge! They look like a giant mantau. No very nice visually. So this time I made it smaller. Since I don’t have much time to prepare anything to eat it with, we just have this with some stir-fry chicken with jicama for our dinner.
Ingredients:
150 gram flour
30 gram sugar
1 tsp double action baking powder
1 tsp yeast
20 gram shortening
80 -85 ml water
1. Mix all the above ingredients and knead them into smooth dough. Cover and let them rest for half an hour.
2. Oil the outside of the Jelly Moulds with some vegetable oil. Divide the dough into 2 portions. Take one portions and divide it into 3.

4. Set the dough aside to rest for 15 minutes. Prepare the steamer. Bring the water up to a rapid boil.
5. Steam them for 15 minutes. Serve them warm.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very good idea Gert..:) Like those chinese mantau eating with sliced stew porks.....this is another good idea instead of wrapping it, we can stuff into your cute cone mantaus...nice!

Hi, I discovered your blog by chance and am very impressed with your work :-)
ReplyDeleteI told myself that I shall try your recipes as they all look appetizing....air liur melilir setiap kali baca you punya blog.
I intend to try out mantou this weekend. Can you tell me what is "
double action baking powder"? How different is it from normal baking powder?
Anon, thank you for stopping by. About the double action baking powder. There are 2 kinds of baking powder. One just the regular one that people use mostly for cakes or cookies and there is another one which is double action (for rapid rising) which usually used in making bao/steam buns or bread. If you can't find it you can just use the regular one.
