Ingredients

• 200 g Skinless chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Water
• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Instant yeast
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 150 ml Warm water
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough rises, prepare the filling. Finely chop the chicken breast into small pieces.

Step 6

In a bowl, combine chopped chicken, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sliced green onions, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of water, mixing well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 10 equal portions.

Step 8

Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a circle of about 10 cm in diameter.

Step 9

Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges and twist to seal tightly.

Step 10

Place each filled bun on a parchment paper square to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Arrange the buns in a steamer, ensuring they have space to expand, and cover.

Step 12

Steam over boiling water for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the buns are fluffy.

Step 13

Remove from the steamer and serve warm. Enjoy your low-fat chicken pau!
