Super juicy raw meat buns

~~When I was preparing the recipe for steamed buns, I was nervous - although I have a dim sum chef certificate, can I really teach you how to make steamed buns? It was not until I drank three bowls of wine and sang "Courage" loudly that I suddenly realized: the joy of food is to try it yourself! After all, homemade steamed buns are about the smell of fireworks, and you are not going to participate in a competition, so why bother? ~~In fact, every time I look at the steamed buns just out of the pot, they are white and plump, and the thin skin and large fillings are full of fresh fragrance. Even the children in the neighborhood chase after me and say they want to learn from me! With the help of this wine and the enthusiasm of the children, I will serve the steaming hot tutorial here~ If it is not perfect, I hope you kitchen friends will bear with me! The recipe made 16.

Scallion and pork floss cake roll

The scallion and pork floss cake roll is a mixture of salty and sweet. The fluffy cake is wrapped with fresh pork floss and paired with fresh scallions. The taste is rich and layered, and it is soft and satisfying when you bite it. It can be used as breakfast to quickly replenish energy and start a vibrant day; it is also a great choice for afternoon tea, which is comfortable and refreshing when paired with tea; it can also be used as a picnic delicacy to add deliciousness to leisure time. The taste of this cake roll is so unforgettable that I couldn't help but repeat it twice for two consecutive days! Just for this delicious taste~

It's like a homemade pastry made by our elders—simple yet flavorful, a true home-cooked delicacy. The sweetness of life is all in this bread.

Super Soft Cheese Sausage Buns (Cream Version)

I love making high-hydration doughs, especially for bread—they turn out as soft as little lambs. (I used 625g of flour to make 14 buns.) The aroma while baking is impossible to hide; neighbors often come knocking to ask when the bread will be ready. (Next time, I’ll try a butter version.) I prefer savory bread, so I use less sugar and a bit more salt.

walnut, sesame, peanut brocade rolls (packets)

The filling blends the rich, mellow aroma of black sesame powder, the crunchy grains of peanuts and walnuts, and the gentle sweetness of milk powder. The multifaceted flavors intertwine, each bite offering a nutty crunch and the richness of sesame, a sweet yet non-cloying experience. The dough is also infused with black sesame powder. After steaming, the aroma of wheat permeates the air, mingling with the scorched aroma of sesame. The soft dough envelops the generous filling. One bite is filled with a soft exterior and fragrant interior. The richness of sesame, the crunch of nuts, and the aroma of milk are a comforting blend from nose to taste. It's a perfect fusion of traditional pastry and nutty flavors, incredibly delicious. By the time I realized it, my stomach was already swollen. The sight of the scale instantly sobered me up—but then I thought, trading three sweet, soft sesame and nut snacks for a solid meal is a real bargain! After all, the dough is so chewy and the filling is so flavorful, it would be a shame not to eat enough.

Passion Fruit and Pineapple Sauce Spare Ribs

This passion fruit and pineapple juice pork ribs dish is a surprising and innovative flavorful creation I encountered while traveling in Nanning. After trying the local passion fruit pork ribs in Nanning, a core passion fruit producing area, I added homemade pineapple juice to elevate the flavor. The golden, translucent passion fruit shells serve as a delicate container, nestling the ribs, smothered in a rich sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. The appearance alone is breathtaking. The sweetness of my homemade pineapple juice blends beautifully with the tartness of the passion fruit, softening the rich sauce flavor of the ribs and allowing the dual fruity notes to spread across the palate. This dish boasts a refreshing tropical fruit flavor over the local original. Bromelain simmers the ribs until they are tender and flavorful, and each bite offers a delicate balance of sweet and sour, salty, and savory, creating a unique flavor experience. Although the price of this dish in the local area is a bit pricey - almost a hundred dollars, once you have tasted it, you will know that it is worth the money. Once you have tasted it, you will never forget it!
