FRIED BAO (PAU GORENG)

Summer is here. The weather is quite nice, the bright sun is shining our home, a bit hot but not as hot as asian countries. Nothing to do in this summer, so my kitchen became my sanctuary to spend my time by cooking and baking :).

From Sisca Soewitomo dimsum recipes book still, this time I choosed fried bao (fried pau) since I'm often make steamed bao. Actually, even this bao's named fried bao but it didn't deep fried. The way it fried same as gyoza, I only brushed oil on the pan, then after two sides of bao are golden brown then add water to boil it. The taste is good, because it was slightly fried and boiled, so it made the bao a bit crispy, and when you bite it you can feel the crunchiness from the bao's skin. But don't worry, inside the bao still soft and tender, the crunchy only from the skin.

So.....I think better we try it together........yummmm....
