Those beans look really good. Is there more to them than just bread crumbs and Parmesan? If so, would you share the recipe?

 

Hmmm.  I cooked the beans earlier in the day.  What I do is sauté some garlic in olive oil in the cazuela, add beans (drained, but leave a little liquid), some herbs of your choice, some olive oil, parmesan, pepper. Then topped with bread crumbs and more parmesan, baked at 350℉ for a good 30 minutes.

Made these on Friday (in case we lost power on Saturday and needed something easy): Ju Bao from Andrea Nguyen's 'Asian Dumplings' with pork, cabbage, mushroom, assorted freezer greens .... 

We didn't lose power however these were tasty.

I'm guessing this is the ATK recipe, no?

 

Yes.  I have their Bread Illustrated book, and am assuming it is the one you are thinking of.

 

Last night we had a turkey dinner with the usual (for us) sides: mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, carrots, green beans, cranberries.   I didn't get a picture of the plated meal, but here's the bird out of the oven and resting.

I cook in quantity for the week. It does not really conform to a formal breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I live away from the house 4 days a week. So if I am  to affordably feed my family away from the house, I have to plan ahead. Mass quantities are the order of the day. Today I made; stewed pork with white wine and mushrooms, hybrid braised beef (French-Irish death match with red wine and beer), and navy beans and ham with corn bread.

This sounds fascinating. Please consider doing an eG food blog or taking us through a week's meals in whatever way works for your and your family’s schedule.

This is the chicken that I've now tried for the 2nd time...

Roasted with some potatoes, onions, carrots. It's the Heritage chicken, from Trader Joe's, which they sell for $4/lb.

 

Not a bad bird.

 Every time someone posts a roast chicken I get another craving.

That looks so good.   Love roasted potatoes and onions.

My Mom used to make baos with chicken, shitaki mushrooms and Chinese sausage. She , and later, I steamed them. I tried making baked char siu baos (different pastry recipe) and was never happy with the results, so I keep using the steamed version. Yours look great - delicate pastry! ❤️

Repurposing the one leftover turkey fillet: added various vegetables, stir-fried with Toban sauce, simmered in chicken broth and lightly thickened. Really needed that "gravy"!
Cooked up 1.5 cups of wild rice that was hiding in the back pantry. Made LOADS! Ate some and will freeze some in portions.

I've been wanting egg tarts, so having Chinese store bought tart shells, I caved and made some.

Shoprite had some Icelandic Haddock on special, they said "never frozen", but regardless it was very good (unlike some of the very sad/not fresh fish I saw there) - sweet and moist. I roasted it with some Panko crumbs on top to add a little crispy texture.

I steamed them.

 

It's never done any other way here. The standard definition of baozi is "steamed filled buns". Never had baked ones.

 

Chicken and shiitake is a common pairing, but I don't recall seeing it in baozi. Interesting.

Had to have something to go along; baked some white beans, with bread crumbs and parmesan...

Mitch, I have been intrigued by this dish for some time. You've made me want to try it!

What's the ratio of breadcrumbs to parmesan?

Perhaps mine is a Toisanese version? Guess I'll have to make some  soon, after talking about them! 😋

It was the baking that surprised me. As I think you know, extremely few people have ovens at home and even most restaurants don't.

 

One of my local steamed bread places has about 30 varieties of baozi. I need to have a look to see if they do a chicken version with or without shiitake.

The bakeries in Oakland Chinatown typically offer baked and steamed. I much prefer the baked, and always get the BBQ pork. The baked ones have a golden-brown domed surface. Incredibly satisfying elevenses snack.

I'm not trying to say or even imply that there is anything wrong with baked baozi. I'm just saying they don't exist here. I'd certainly try if I came across them.
