"On the twenty-eighth day of the Waxing Moon, the noodles are hairy", at the end of the waxing month, many families will send steamed steamed steamed buns and steamed buns, which means that the New Year is thriving. When I was a child, on the twenty-eighth day of the Waxing Moon, the adults made preparations early, to chop the firewood, to make good noodles at night, to fill the buns and plates, and to start busy in the morning of the first day. Steamed steamed steamed buns and buns should be eaten until the fifth day of the first year, which is called "eating every other year" in our local area, indicating that the family has sufficient surplus grain and is rich every year. There are also places that think that "steaming" and "fighting", "stir-frying" and "noisy" are homophonous, and it sounds like there will be quarrels, so the first to fifth day of the first year do not steam buns, praying that the family can have fun and harmony.
New Year's bun stuffing is mostly pork cabbage, pork radish, pork mushrooms and other pork-based fillings, the New Year is not as good as a new pattern, with chicken buns to buns, the method is simple, steamed buns taste fresh and spicy, chicken tender and smooth sauce, my family steamed several pots at a time, children can eat two or three, especially like, today to teach everyone the orleans chicken bun method.
Orleans chicken buns
Ingredients required: 2 chicken thighs, 60 g of Orleans marinade.
1, put flour and an appropriate amount of yeast powder in the basin, put about 3-5 grams of flour in a pound, and form a dough, cover with plastic wrap and wake up for 2 hours. If the weather is too cold, you can wake up for a few more hours, not limited by 2 hours.
2, after washing the chicken legs, use kitchen scissors to follow the direction of the bones, cut the bones and meat, do not like the chicken legs tendons can be removed. Chicken legs are best to buy a large pistol leg meat how good to operate, when deboning is best operated with kitchen scissors, not sharp is not easy to hurt the hand.
3, boneless chicken thigh meat first cut into long strips and then cut into 1cm long square cubes, do not like to eat dice, you can also chop the chicken thigh meat smaller, similar to the filling when wrapping pork buns, so it will be more flavorful.
4, cut the chicken into the dish, pour 60 grams of Orleans marinade, add a little salt and chicken powder, add two spoons of cooking oil, you can also add a little sesame oil, feel that the filling is too dry can add the right amount of water, stir evenly cover the plastic wrap marinade for 2 hours. Don't put too much marinade, just follow the above ratio.
5: The dough is made into a honeycomb shape, kneaded and vented, cut into agents, and rolled into bun skins. Before cutting the dough, be sure to knead the dough thoroughly to make the surface smooth, otherwise the steamed bun skin is not smooth.
6, start to wrap the bun, a bit similar to wrapping a round dumpling, if you are not good at this kind of wrapping method, you can wrap according to your favorite method, the filling should not put too much, too much wrapping will also break the skin.
7, after wrapping up in the pot for 20 minutes, the bun will expand and become larger during the steaming process, and there should be a certain gap between the buns put into the pot.
8, after the water is boiled, steam for 20-25 minutes, when the time comes, do not directly open the lid, the internal and external air pressure will suddenly increase, resulting in the retraction of the bun skin "collapsed skin", it is best to turn off the heat after simmering for 3-5 minutes.

1, the weather cold dough is not easy to make good, you can be in advance one night and good noodles, the next day up the dough has expanded with honeycomb-like. Or put some white sugar when making noodles, provide sufficient nutrients for yeast, and then put the dough warm water into the pot, remember not to use hot water, otherwise it is easy to burn the yeast to death.
2, roll out the bun skin to be thick in the middle, thin on all four sides, so that the bun is not easy to rot when steaming, the four sides of the pleats taste better, do not roll the bun skin as thick.
3, the chicken thighs in the bun can be replaced by chicken breast, the taste will be slightly worse than the chicken thighs, but the taste is also particularly fragrant.
