2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 scallions

1/4 tsp salt
1 package yeast, dry
2 tbsp ; water, warm
1 egg white (opt)
3 cup flour
Recipe Preparation
Filling: Cube meat and stir fry in some oil with minced onion. (mush-
rooms and bamboo shoots can also be added) Cook meat until no longer
pink.
Add chicken broth to pan. Heat to boiling, then cook covered for Stir
oyster sauce and cornstarch into 1 tablespoon water, add to pan. Cook
some more until thickened.
Dough: Do the usual stuff about scalding milk, then stirring in
sugar, shortning, and salt; cooling the milk mixture; proofing the
yeast; etc. Stir the yeast and egg white into milk mixture, then pour
over 3 cups flour in bowl and stir until smooth. Add more flour
until dough is easy to handle.
Knead, let rise, and punch down. Divide dough into 20 pieces, roll
each piece into 3 inch circle. Put 1 tablespoon of filling in
center, then twist to seal. Place on 3 inch square of waxed paper.
Repeat 19 times.
Cover & let rise 20 minutes, then steam. I use a metal strainer in a
pot with a little water and a cheesecloth tied over the pot lid (to
prevent condensation). Cover and steam for 12 minutes, then enjoy!

Food Tips of the Week
How to Cook Beans
Beans can be tricky to cook properly. One useful tip is to add any salt or seasoning near to the end of the cooking time as they can prevent the beans from softening properly.
This also applies to any acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice.
Ignore people who say you need to add salt at the start of cooking any foods - this is a myth that science has now disproved.
Frozen Fish Can Taste as Good as Fresh!
One of the problems with using frozen fish is that it often tastes bland and stale after it has been defrosted. This can be easily overcome by defrosting the fish in a bowl of milk, which brings back the 'nice' taste of fresh fish.
Blueberries, A Superfood that Tastes Great Too!
Blueberries are packed with phytoflavinoids and antioxidants - both extremely good for your health. They are also rich in vitamin C, something that most of us could do with 'getting a bit more of', and also quite high in potassium. Some expert nutritionalists claim that eating blueberries helps to reduce the risk of serious complaints like cancer and heart disease
