Homemade Pau With Savory Turnip Fillings



Homemade pau with savoury turnip fillings are delicious and they are not difficult to make. Much easier than anticipated. Good for breakfast , afternoon tea snacks or supper. I made one load of pau dough from Amy Beh's recipe and the Piggies had them for breakfast and supper :))) I still haven't been successful in making the pau smile coz I didn't want to use ammonia bicarbonate on the pau. It will definitely smile if I had used them :))


Appearance wise they may not look attractive
but definitely tasty and yummilicious!


The pau skin is soft and fluffy
the recipe is a keeper for sure


testing my cam skill :P


mouthwatering ?
haha Piggy gal said I put in too much
fillings so can't get to eat the pau skin :))

  7. @ Food For Tots:

    :) I did not use the bamboo rack. I juz place the pau on a plate and steamed in a stainless steel steamer. Water will not drip on the pau if you are steaming one layerand lift up the lid quickly before the condensation water drip on the pau.

    @ Natasya :

  13. Gert and Elinluv,

    Since the last time I was in KL, the famous 'Yip Chee Mei Tai Pau' stall also sell a similar version of "Choy Pau". To me, it's quite good.

    Thanks Elinluv for the Pau Skin link. I'll try soon.
