CHINESE PORK SAUSAGE BUNS (Lop Cheung Bow)
DOUGH: 1/2 recipe of basic bun dough.
FILLING: 6 pairs of Chinese pork sausage, cut into halves. You should have
24 3-inch sausages. [These are very good, sweet sausages. I can't think of
anything to substitute for them. S.C.]
Divide dough into 24 balls. Roll each ball into 2-inch rounds.
Place sausage in middle and fold dough over, leaving ends open. Place seam
side down on square piece of was paper. Let rise in warm place for 1 hour
or so.
Steam for 10 minutes. Pork Sausage Buns can also be baked at 350F for 20
to 25 minutes. Mix beaten egg whites with a little water and sugar and
brush buns (to keep crust soft). Brush with melted butter when done.
