Steamed Bun on the menu? Try pairing with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The NV Paques et Fils with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.

NV Paques et Fils

A very pretty pale pink. Scented with cherries and hydrangea. A spirited rose with tart strawberry on the palate and brisk acidity on the finish, it is refined and sophisticated, but not at all snooty. A perfect brunch wine. Excellent value.

Instructions

  1. Sweet, soft toasty-brown buns surround a tangy barbecued pork filling.
  2. Makes 12 buns.
  3. Cooking Time: 30 minutes.
  4. Preparation :In a large bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of the sugar in milk and water.
  5. Sprinkle yeast over top of the milk mixture and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes or until frothy. Gradually mix in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, and salt. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled. Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in enough warm water to cover for 30 minutes; drain. Cut off and discard stems; coarsely chop caps. Set aside. Cooking
  6. Place wok or wide frying pan over high heat until hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides. Add green onions, garlic, and mushrooms; stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in water, hoisin sauce, and sugar; mix well. Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring until sauce boils down and thickens. Add pork, mix well. Remove from heat and let cool. Punch down dough, then roll on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch long cylinder. 7Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Tips: Traditionally, these buns are steamed over boiling water, pleated side up, for 12 to 15 minutes rather than baked. Follow the same procedure for preparing dough except do not brush tops of buns with egg yolk. Try other fillings, such as minced chicken, pork or shrimp.
