Yummy!!
For red bean paste, do you use the ready made ones or make them from scratch?
You can either your own or buy from the shop. I'm too lazy to cook. I bought it from Sun Lik.

the BAKE KING brand one is kind of greasy though
hi yochana....
how many paus can this recipe yield? izzit possible to half it 'coz if too many, i have prob getting my family to finish it!
Cheers,

Ida,
I can't remember exactly how many it yields. But I roughly remembered it's about 9 pcs. Of course you can half the recipe.
Happy trying!!
hi yochana,
Can i use split bean paste instead?

Aunty,
I made these pau yesterday. It was really delicious. Not enough for every one. So I made another batch again later in the evening. I used red bean paste which I made last week. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Hi delia,
I love these too, can use coconut fried with gula melaka. it will taste very good.

Hi Yochana,
If I do this recipe manually, do I knead until it's elastic (like bread dough) or just until the dough comes together and is smooth?
During the first 1 hour proof, it should actually double in size right? My kitchen is quite cool, so I think 1 hour is not enough if it should double in size.
Thanks for your guidance.
Regards,
Sarah
Hi sarah,
Yes you can knead with your hands but no need to knead till the gluten forms like the bread. It will expand beautifully even if your kitchen is cool. The most important thing is that your yeast must be fresh and active.

Hi, I'm a Hakka clan. I tried your Hakka Cheen Loong Pau yesterday. In stead of a sweet filling, I switch it with Suet Li Hoong (a kind of northern pickle vegetable like our haem choy) and minced pork. It is very nice. Thank you.
