Oolong Tea Rolls


In Chinese tea culture, semi-oxidised oolong teas are collectively grouped as qīngchá (Chinese: 清茶; literally "clear tea"). Oolong has a taste more akin to green tea than to black tea: it has neither the rosy, sweet aroma of black tea nor the stridently grassy vegetal notes that typify green tea. It is commonly brewed to be strong, with the bitterness leaving a sweet aftertaste. Several subvarieties of oolong, including those produced in the Wuyi Mountains of northern Fujian and in the central mountains of Taiwan, are among the most famous Chinese teas.

DoughFilling
  • 100 g All-purpose flour
  • 40 ml Hot Oolong tea drink
  • 2/3 tbsp Tea leaves, brewed
  • 25 ml Cold Water
  • 100 g Ground pork
  • 2. 5 g Sesame oil
  • 1 g Salt
  • 1 g Chicken powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp Water
  1. Brew a cup of Oolong tea with 5 grams of tea leaves. Reserve 40 ml tea drink and 2/3 tablespoon of brewed tea leaves. Set aside for later use.
  2. Chop the tea leaves very fine and mix with the ingredients for the filling. Cover and store in the fridge.
  3. Sift the flour in a mixing bowl, pour in the boiled Oolong tea (use a microwave to warm up if it is cold), use the chopsticks to stir, then add 25 ml cold water in 2-3 times until a smooth and soft (like your earlobe) dough forms.
  4. Cover with a plastic wrapper and let stand for 30 minutes. Portion the dough into 10-11, each about 16 grams.Place the portioned dough on a lightly floured board, press flat and roll out thinly with a rolling pin, place a tablespoon of filling on it, roll up and form into a roll like a pencil. Again roll it into a circle about 3-4 cm in diameter. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  5. Heat a frying-pan wok over a medium flame. Put the pancake into the pan and cook it until golden brown at the both sides.

  42. Angie, you are very creative to add oolong tea into the dough! I have to call these a healthier dimsum. They look so cute and delicious. I would love to try them. By the way, I'm amazed at how you come out with 1g of salt and 1g of chicken powder. My weighing scale can't do that.

    ReplyDelete
