A couple test recipes
June 30, 2008 – 10:16 amI’m part of the recipe testing for a cookbook that Jaden Hair of Jaden’s Steamy Kitchen is in the last stages of writing and publishing (through Tuttle/Periplus, which has many excellent cookbooks and other books). Last week I tried two recipes – steamed vegetable buns, and spicy garlic chicken wings. As these are not my own recipes, and they will be published in the near future, I will not be copying them here.
Steamed Vegetable Buns
I had some difficulty with the bun dough being too sticky to work with, and ended up steaming the dough separately and serving the buns alongside the filling. I prefer my own steamed bun recipe to the mix used in the recipe, as I found the mix to be too sweet, but it would be easy enough to reduce the added sugar.
Spicy Garlic Chicken Wings
These were easy to make and very tasty. They were marinated, then baked to cook them through, then briefly stir fried with aromatics to crisp up the skin and add layers of flavor.
I’m looking forward to testing more recipes and buying the cookbook when it comes out!

I tried the steamed bao mix that I purchased at my local oriental grocery. Next time I’ll try my own recipe or the canned biscuits. The filling was quite good.
