How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- For whole pieces of pork, first you need to pay attention to the color. The color of good pork is bright pink, not too red and not too pale. Pork that is pale, has a greenish hue, and has a foul smell is spoiled, and you should not choose this type of meat.
- Firm and elastic pork is good meat. You can test by pressing your finger into the meat; if it bounces back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or juice, it is good.
You should choose pork that has a balance of lean meat and fat so that your dish does not become dry or too greasy. - You can buy pork to grind at home using a meat grinder or buy it pre-ground as mentioned in the article!
- For pre-ground pork, you should buy it from reputable stores or supermarkets, ensuring that the meat is stored in the cold section, and the packaging is intact to ensure quality.
How to choose clean, safe pork sausage
- You should choose packaged pork sausage that is securely and carefully sealed to ensure cleanliness and safety, free from dust.
- As it is a packaged product, you need to pay attention to the expiration date, a reliable production place, and the sausage inside should have a uniform light pink color and a smooth texture.
- Do not buy pork sausage that shows signs of meat and fat due to inadequate grinding, has an unusual foul smell; it may be expired and no longer usable.
How to choose delicious crispy mushrooms
- There are 2 types of mushrooms: fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms, you should choose to buy dried mushrooms for safety and to minimize the risk of allergies!
- Dried mushrooms will have an amber color on the top, and a milky brown color on the bottom; when buying, prioritize those with large, thick mushroom ears and few small mushrooms growing at the base.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms that have an unusually dark color; these mushrooms will easily become mushy after soaking and will no longer be crispy and delicious.
Tools needed
How to make Fried Bao
-
Mix and knead the dough
Add 130g of all-purpose flour to a bowl, then add a little salt and 1g of baking powder, mix the mixture well.
In another bowl, add 20g of sugar, 1.5g of yeast, 80ml of fresh milk, and 15ml of cooking oil, then mix the mixture well.
Next, add the milk-yeast mixture into the flour mixture, and mix well until the flour absorbs all the liquid.
Then, let the dough rest for about 15 minutes and gently knead until smooth. Finally, cover the dough tightly and let it rise for about 1 – 1.5 hours in a warm place.
Note: You should not knead the dough too long as it will make the bao dough tough!

Make the filling
Soak the mushrooms in water for about 10 minutes to soften, then rinse and chop finely.
Peel and wash the carrot, then cut it into thin strips. Wash the cabbage and then chop it finely. Peel the shallots and then mince them.
In a bowl, combine: 50g ground pork, 50g pork sausage, chopped mushrooms, carrot, and cabbage along with 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1/4 tablespoon of MSG, and a little pepper, then mix the mixture thoroughly.
Next, heat a pan on the stove with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then add the minced shallots to sauté until fragrant, then add the mixed filling and stir-fry over medium heat until cooked, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
Boil 2 eggs until cooked, then peel and cut into wedges.

Wrapping the dumplings
The dough has risen for enough time, take it out, knead it gently, and then divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
Next, use a rolling pin to roll each divided portion of the dough into very thin pieces, then scoop a little filling that you have stir-fried into it, add a piece of egg on top, and then gently wrap the dumpling. Do the same for the remaining filling and dough!
Tip: To make the fried dumplings delicious, you must wrap the dumpling tightly so that the filling doesn’t fall out when frying!
-
Frying the dumplings
Heat a pan on the stove, add 200ml of cooking oil, and turn on medium heat until the oil is slightly bubbling, then add the dumplings to fry. Turn the dumplings evenly until they are golden and crispy, then remove them and let them drain the oil, and you can enjoy them!

Tips for successful execution
- You should make small fillings about the size of your palm and then wrap a thin layer of dough around it to avoid it being too greasy when eating.
- When frying the buns, you should use a ladle to scoop them out because the buns are round, making it harder to use chopsticks.
- Fried buns have high nutritional content and cholesterol, so you should limit eating too many as it may negatively affect your health.
