Cha Shu Baos

Learning Chinese cooking was fun and I had a friend who was part Chinese that gave me this recipe that had been passed to her by her grandmother. My children love it when I make this and have begged for the recipe. If you have leftovers put them in the refrigerator or the freezer and warm them up in the microwave. The ideal way to cook these is to use a steamer but an oven works fine also. You can glaze these with egg white and sprinkle with brown sugar or toasted sesame seeds. 

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground pork 

4 green onions, chopped 

1 can of water chestnuts, chopped fine 

3 Tbs. Hoisin Sauce 

3 Tbs. Soy Sauce 

1 recipe for Basic Bread 

Fry the pork with the green onions and water chestnuts until the onions are soft and the put 2 Tablespoons in the center of a flattened round piece of dough. Form the dough around the meat mixture and pinch closed. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned or steam in a steamer.. Serve hot and refrigerate any leftovers.
