Gua Bao with vegetables

This Asian-inspired recipe is very tasty, healthy and original!

Ingredients for 4 units:
- 5.64 oz flour Tritordeum (you can find it here)
- 2.7 oz of water
- 0.35 oz of fresh yeast
- Pinch of sugar
- A little bit of salt
- 0.35 oz of olive oil

- 2 carrots
- 1/3 of onion
- 1/4 of leek
- 1/3 of green pepper
- Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce


Recipe:
- Mix in a bowl the flour and salt.
- Add water and oil and stir well.
- In another bowl with some water, crumble the yeast and stir with a spoon until it dissolves.
- Once undone, mix it with the dough you got in the first bowl and start kneading for a while until the surface of the dough is smooth and it doesn't stick to your hands. (Crush and stretch the dough with the base of your hand, fold in half and repeat. Occasionally, sprinkle a little flour on the table so that the dough does not stick).
- Once the dough is smooth, make a ball and put it in a bowl on before you have sprinkled a little flour and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand about 3 hours.

- While resting the dough, wash the vegetables, peel the onion and carrots and cut all into very thin strips.
- In a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat fry the vegetables until golden.
- Sprinkle a little black pepper, add the soy sauce and stir well for the vegetables absorb the flavor of the sauce. Drain and reserve.
- Divide the dough into small balls and, using a rolling pin, stretch them to give them a rounded shape without making them too thin.
- Fold them in half putting some baking paper in between and steam for 10 minutes.
- Open them carefully and put the vegetables inside.
- Serve hot.

Bon appetit!
