Food - Two Recipes:

Steamed Asian Buns

Makes up to 16 buns

For the dough:

>>3 cups all-purpose flour
>>1 tablespoon baking powder
>>1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
>>1 tablespoon vegetable oil
>>3/4 cup warm water

For the filling:

>>2 teaspoons sesame oil
>>1 pound shiitake mushrooms, chopped
>>1/2 large clove garlic, crushed
>>1 tablespoon sugar
>>4 tablespoons peanut butter
>>1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
>>2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
>>2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1. For the dough, stir the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the oil and water to make a soft dough; shape into a ball. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and pliable, 3 to 4 minutes. Return to the bowl, cover with a towel, and let rest 10 to 15 minutes.

2. For the filling, heat the sesame oil in a wok or skillet, add the mushrooms and garlic, stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining 5 ingredients, mix well and cook until thick and sticky. Remove to a bowl to cool.

3. Roll the dough flat. With a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut up to 16 rounds. Roll or hand-flatten each round thin. Place a generous tablespoon of filling in the center of each, gather up the edges and twist firmly to secure the filling. Put the buns (twist up) in a foil-lined bamboo steamer. Be sure they don't touch. Steam over a pan of simmering water until firm, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Note: The recipe says it makes 16 buns; we got 12 with filling left over to freeze for use later.

Potato "Dosadillas"

Makes 4 servings

>>1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
>>2 tablespoons minced scallions or onions
>>2 cups mashed potatoes (see Note)
>>1/2 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
>>1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder or paste, or to taste
>>4 large whole wheat tortillas

1. Heat the oil in a small skillet. Saute the scallions until soft. Add the potatoes, peas and curry and mix well. Cook until hot. For a spicier mixture, add more curry.

2. Spread the mixture evenly over half of each of the tortillas. Fold the tortillas and heat them, two at a time, in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides. Keep them warm while cooking the remaining dosadillas. Eat them with your hands or with a knife and fork.

Note: My kids loved these but suggested buttering the tortilla and adding more butter to the mashed potatoes.
