Pan-Fried Bao Zi Class

Our office arranged a bao zi class after work one day, but unfortunately the teacher came with the meat and veggie fillings pre-mixed and marinated and the dough made prior to our arrival. We only learned how to roll and wrap the filling, which I've already learned from my mum. It wasn't a pointless class because I did learn to wrap the bao zi into leaf and flower shapes and get the recipe for the dough, which was the best bao zi dough I've ever had.

  1. Wow, that flower bao zi is stunning! Though yours looks quite nice as well.

    I guess, even if you didn't get to make the dough and fillings, you still got to eat some dumpllings - that part must have been nice?

  2. OMG this looks so fun! I have been intending to make my own bao zi for awhile... I'm intimidated though!

    I really wish I could find a good place in Austin though that sells some!

  4. The chef wrote it down for me in Chinese. I will post the dough recipe once I've translated it.
