For the dough:

In a pocket-size bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of the saccharide inwards the milk in addition to water. Sprinkle inwards the yeast in addition to allow to sit down 10 minutes. Mix inwards the remaining sugar, 2 cups of flour in addition to the salt. Mix until the dough is no longer sticky, adding additional flour every bit needed.

My thoughts:

I can't resist playing alongside corned beef in addition to cabbage around St Patrick's Day. (see my corned beef in addition to cabbage quesadillas if you lot remove evidence) I know at that topographic point is goose egg genuinely Irish Gaelic nigh the combination simply it is fun anyway.

This twelvemonth I am taking this faux-Irish classic a mensuration farther in addition to turning the combo into a filling for Chinese steamed buns. Why not? I dearest steamed buns! I dearest cabbage! And I've fifty-fifty corned my ain beef. Irish-Chinese fusion it is.The meat/cabbage filling stays juicy in addition to flavorful in addition to the buns are perfectly tender. The perfect mix.

The recipe looks a flake trickier than it really is. You don't accept to corn your beef from scratch, at that topographic point are enough at the supermarket this fourth dimension of year. Just ambit it, clitoris it off the wedge of fatty in addition to chop it up. The cabbage purpose is simple. The exclusively slightly tricky purpose is the bao simply is a slowly dough to operate alongside in addition to 1 time you lot brand a bun or two, the folding is a cinch. Just brand certain they are fully closed!
