| 1. You can use my recipe for char siu (#34265) or make it with a mix- both powdered and liquid mixes are available at Asian food stores. | 2. I like the Noh brand, personally. | 3. Chop the char siu and mushrooms finely. | 4. Combine the water and cornstarch and stir into the char siu and mushrooms. | 5. Add salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and sugar, and add enough food coloring to color the mixture a bright red. | 6. Heat the oil and lightly cook the garlic, then add the rest of the filling mixture and cook until thick. | 7. To make the bao dough, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water and let stand for 5 minutes. | 8. Combine water with salt, milk and oil; stir in flour. | 9. Knead 5-10 minutes or until dough is smooth. | 10. Divide dough into 8 even balls. | 11. Press a cavity into each ball, and spread the ball into a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick cup. | 12. Fill the cup with 1/8 of the filling mixture, and press the edges closed to seal the bao. | 13. Cut waxed paper in 4-5 inch squares and place each bao on a piece of paper, sealed side down. | 14. Place bao in a steamer basket, cover, and let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. | 15. Bring the water under the steamer to a boil and steam bao for 10 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
