Let me show you how to turn any leftover roast meat, like roast pork, into a tasty Chinese street snack;
mouth-watering Dim Sum Pork Buns.
Chilli sauce, hoisin sauce, black bean sauce, let's do it.
Pull about 300g of your leftover pork into fine shreds. After that long roast it all falls apart.
We're gonna go in with two tablespoons of that lovely, sweet and hot, fiery chilli dipping sauce.
I'm gonna go in with four tablespoons of black bean sauce
Finely slice the green tops of four spring onions and the stalks of half a bunch of coriander. Save the rest, we'll need them later.
Have a little taste
Oh! Heat, fragrance but you've brought that pork back to life. Fantastic.
Next the buns; simple and quick.
In a food processor put 500g of self-raising flour then you go in with 400ml of milk, a little pinch of salt just to season it up.
Whizz that up for about 30 seconds. Shape the dough into 16 even sized balls and grab your saucy meat filling. Dead simple.
Take your bun, just put your thumb in there like this and then we go in with a heaped teaspoon of our lovely mix and then pull up your little bun.
Turn them upside down and put them into double layered muffin cases.
I'm gonna use these lovely steamers, they're cheap as chips.
You can get them nice, big. You can rack them up; two, three, four.
So I'm gonna do about eight on each level.
Girls, do you mind just giving us a little hand.
Now as flavoursome as those little buns are going to be I wanna add a few deliciously crunchy and punchy sides to serve with them
Length wise, slice up the rest of your spring onions and one red chilli and drop them into a bowl of ice water. This will make them go crunchy, curly and stay fresh.
Then add the coriander leaves. Ok so get a wok on a high heat and some boiling water goes in because we want some steam going.
We're gonna cook those for about 12-14 minutes.
And behold; fluffy and gorgeous steaming hot buns packed with that delicious pork filling.
Yes! There you go, there's my little babies.
I've got some lovely toasted sesame seeds and while they're sort of a little bit clammy, really generously sprinkle those over
That toasted flavour is going to phenomenal
To serve it up, hoisin sauce for dipping and our curly, crunchy, crispy bits.
Grab a handful of lettuce leaves and we're good to go.
Come and look at these lovely, steamy buns. I think I'm gonna go for this little fella here.
I wanna load this little bad boy up with all the little bits and pieces.
A nice dip into the hoisin sauce
Possibly one of the naughtiest mouthfuls of loveliness that you could eat
All the little fragrant bits. That sort of just lovely, soppy, gorgeous pork.
Mouth-watering dim sum pork buns.
You will be so proud of yourself when you make it.
