Sichuan Post 2 - Making Baozi with Grandma Gao

Two weeks ago, I visited lovely Sichuan villagers I befriended two years ago, one of them being Grandma Gao, who is a fantastic cook. Here are some delicious baozi she made!

Get baozi bread mix ready (probably made of flour, water)

Roll it up into dough

Put ground meat into balls of dough

Twist the dough balls up to close them up

Line them up in a steamer like so

Steam for about 15~20 minutes

Baozi!

Here is something else delicious she made (I have no idea what they're called, but they are distant relatives of the baozi)

Roll out the dough and spread a mixture for inside (made up sesame and some other forms of deliciousness)

Roll everything up

Cut rolled up dough into slices, and steam!

Tada!

Carolll 我很想你!

The photos look really good. =] One tip though: try messing around with white balance settings when you're indoors with artificial lighting, so the photos don't come out so yellow.

When are you coming back to visit?
