Video Discription |
The Vancouver Downtown Eastside has faced many problems, including poverty, drug use, crime, homelessness, mental illness, vandalism and other problems.
Chinatown is located near the Downtown Eastside. Chinatown is having its share of problems, including buildings being vandalized, loss of local business and loss of tourism.
Recent reviews on TripAdvisor have been really negative about our city of Vancouver. People are advising tourist to avoid different areas of the city, including Chinatown.
"You have walking dead roaming the streets", agrees Jordan Eng, with one of the reviews on TripAdvisor, who compared people in the area to the "walking dead". Jordan Eng is the president of Chinatown BIA.
Chinatown is staying alive. Businesses are trying to survive. I visit a Chinese Bbq Market that has been around for decades. They serve one of the best Cantonese roast ducks in the city. I also like their Chinese sausages.
I also visit a Chinese bakery. One of my viewers recommended me to try the Big Bao Bun with a filling of ground pork and topped with a duck egg or a chicken egg. It's bigger than a McDonald's quarter pounder.
At the end of my video, I do my own recipe for the Big Bao Bun. I do it several ways and with two different toppings. I'll show you how top make a Big Bao Bun that is as good as a Chinese Bakery.
Chinese Steamed Buns are known as "bao" in Cantonese. They are known as Baozi in Mandarin. Learn the secret to make your bao buns extra fluffy. You can make Chinese steamed buns that are as good or better than store bought. Chinese Steamed Bao is a popular item in Cantonese bakeries. They are also popular for dim sum breakfast or lunch. Follow the easy steps to make your own Chinese bao buns.

RECIPE FOR BAO DOUGH
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 to 1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 cups water (or use milk)
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour. Add baking powder and mix well. Add salt. Put instant yeast in 1/4 cup slightly warm water. After 5 minutes, add yeast mixture into the large mixing bowl. Add water, a little bit at a time and continue to mix the dough with chopsticks or a spatula. Then start kneading dough with your hands.
Knead dough for 4 to 5 minutes. Cover with cellophane for at least 1/2 hour, but 1 hour or more is better. Take dough out and once again for 4 to 5 minutes. Cover with cellophane again. Let dough rise for at least 1/2 hour, but 1 hour or more is better.
PRE-COOKING THE FILLING:
Preheat frying pan at medium heat. Add ground pork and Chinese sausage. Stir fry briefly. Soak Chinese mushrooms for 1 hour, then dice. Put onions and Chinese
sausage in and continue to stir fry. Add salt, brown sugar, light soy
sauce and Chinese oyster sauce. Mix thoroughly into the other ingredients.
add cornstarch solution to thicken sauce. Do final stir fry.
Put filling into a bowl and let cool 1 to 2 hours.
STEAMING THE BAO BUNS:
Take a small piece of dough and shape dough into a circle. Put 1 to 3 tablespoons of filling into the middle and press into the dough. Bring the dough around the sides to cover the ingredients. Twist the top of the dough to hold the filling in. You can make small size, medium size or large size bao buns. It's really up to you.
Put water in a pan and cover with a lid. Bring water to a boil. Put bao in a tray and set into the pan. Cover with the lid and steam the bao for 12 to 15 minutes, up to 20 minutes for large steamed bao.
If you are making up to 40 bao at a time, freeze some so you can have some whenever you want. Just steam them the same way as the fresh bao, but slightly longer because they are frozen. Enjoy!
ALTERNATIVE FILLING:
1 lb. (453 gm) ground pork raw
1 to 2 cups cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons Chinese oyster sauce
2 to 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/4 cup water or chicken stock
Mix all the ingredients together. This filling does not need to be pre-cooked. Fill 1
to 3 tablespoons of filling per bao bun.
