One of the great things about having Mum around is related to food. There always will be food overflowing around: when I get up breakfast is ready and supper is served the minute I stepped into house in the evening. Like other Chinese mums, at least like my grandma, my Mum always thinks I am still hungry no matter how much I eat...Steamed nicely-rounded dumplings (Bao Zi, in Chinese) is something I missed a lot but wasn't able to make myself. I didn't have a proper pot to steam them. But now I do, my parents carry one all the way from China :).
Filling-wise it is no difference from making dumplings. But the dough is yeasted and the trick to make beautiful Baozi is not to oversteam them, otherwise they will collaspe after cooling down. According to my mum, after the water is boiling it takes exactly eight minutes to cook them (for our pot/heat combination).
