BBQ pork Roll


I was pondering what to do with some leftover homemade 'Char Siew' and then it dawned on me, why not roll it up into a bun, a big bun in this case .......  BBQ Pork Roll.

















This is something like the 'Charn Pau', baked buns with BBQ pork filling that we find in Dim Sum joints but I believe that there's no substitute for homemade, fresh from the oven bread!

Ingredients
  • 300 gm high protein flour
  • 50 gm superfine flour or plain flour
  • 1/4  tsp salt
  • 15 gm skimmed milk powder
  • 50 gm caster sugar
  • 25 gm butter/margarine
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1.1/2 tsp dried instant yeast
  • 150 ml  lukewarm  water
  • 1  tsp sugar
Filling
  • 2 long strips of BBQ pork, cut into 4 shorter strips
  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tsp egg white + a pinch of salt
Method
  1. Combine water with yeast, sprinkle in the sugar, stir till dissolved.  Let rest for 10 mins. for it to ferment.
  2. Sift flours, mix in salt, milk powder and sugar.  Mix with dough hook for about half a minute.
  3. Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the dry flour mixture, add in the egg and butter.
  4. Beat on slow for about 10 to 15 mins. till a pliable dough is formed and the dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
  5. Remove the dough hook, cover the mixing bowl with a damp cloth and let it prove in a warm place for about 1 hr. or till double in size.
  6. Dough is ready for shaping when an indentation is left after pressing with a finger.  Place dough on a llightly floured surface, give it a gentle knock to expel some air.
  7. Roll out into a round, fold into half and roll out again into an oblong.
  8. Spread some sauce from the BBQ pork and place the strips of pork onto the dough.  Roll up lengthwise and tuck in the ends.  Cut 2/3 through the dough with a spatula at 1 inch intervals, place into a greased tube pan.  Cover with a damp cloth and let prove for about 30 mins.
  9. Apply egg glaze and sprinkle on some black sesame seeds.
  10. Bake in preheated oven @ 180 deg C for about 15 to 20 mins. till golden brown.
  11. Let cool on wire rack before serving.

    I agree - there's nothing better than bread fresh from the oven! Your BBQ pork roll looks really lovely - esp those black sesame seeds you sprinkled on top!

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.

Braised Pork Ribs with Yam & Wood ear fungus

I bought this yam/taro from a wet market and the lady assured me that her yams are creamy when cooked.  She cut off a very small piece to justify her statement and true enough I saw some powdery substance on the knife.  It can be very frustrating when you end up getting a yam that's firm even when cooked for yams have a hardy taste with a minimal amount of sweetness.  But if you pair it up with some meat and fermented bean curd, the dish will be transformed into a tasty delicacy. Recipe for Braised Pork Ribs with Yam & Wood Ear Fungus Ingredients 750 gm Yam/Taro, peeled and cut into chunks 450 gm pork ribs, marinated with some seasalt 30 gm wood ear fungus, soaked, stemmed and cut into strips 2 pieces fermented beancurd (Nam Yue), mashed with some water 1 small knob ginger, smashed 5 cups water or more 1/2  tsp  dark soya sauce Salt and sugar to taste 2 tsp Shaoxing wine Method In a wok, saute th...
