This bun is called pang susi, bun Susie, pan susie…. no affair how it's spelt, it's a particular bun from the Kristang community inwards Melaka. No, there's no daughter within this bun, non a daughter named Susie. The within is a sweetish spiced minced pork filling wrapped with sugariness white patato dough.
Pang Susi is a Christmas specialty for the Kristang community (Eurasian). I solely got to know virtually this particular bun later on reading upward on Kristang on Wikipedia, merely final week. Last yr Dec, Her World magazine featured Pang Susi every bit purpose of the Christmas recipes selection. I intend I saw that mag, but I brushed it aside, as well as I never knew where I saw it. Maybe at a magazine stall. I can't remember. I posted on Facebook yell for my friends to assist me if they accept this magazine as well as none of them accept this mag. 600 friends as well as none buys Her World. Hmm... anything incorrect hither alongside the magazine? Anyway, Susan Lee-Symons came to my rescue as well as sent me a recipe inwards a Eurasian cookbook that she owns, in PDF format. Thanks Susan!
I know at that spot are other recipes establish on another sites, but later on reading, they seem to audio nyonya similar instead. This recipe past times a Eurasian seem to differ from those that uses wintertime melon or a staff of life dough every bit crust. I'm definitely going to endeavour the Kristang version.
The morn I made this, my wife came into the kitchen correct later on I grind my spices (Yes, I grind them freshly alongside the mill), as well as he asked me what's that pong? Well, he's non a spice lover. But later on he had a few buns, he asked me whether I am going to construct these again. LOL. I told him, minced pork 0 stock inwards freezer. He loved these despite the pong he smelled that morning.
The spices didn't gustation overpowering, instead, it goes real good alongside the meat. I did trim back it slightly to 1/3 tsp because my spices are freshly ground. Store bought solid soil spices volition live on fainter, thus you lot volition demand the master copy amount. I intend I tin transportation away create the mince for dinner itself, every bit a condiment for evidently rice porridge, yummy! But delight accept about patience when it comes to browning the onions, if the onions are non cooked enough, as well as then it won't live on every bit nice. You must allow it caramelize a fighting to choose out the best flavour.
Personally these buns are nice, but I produce detect them a fighting on the oily side. Maybe it's supposed to live on similar a yeasted pastry, to a greater extent than than a bread/bun, you lot know similar that. Pastry non bread..... But it gustation similar bread. The method to construct the dough is also similar the shortcrust pastry method, but I added inwards about kneading although the pedagogy didn't advert it. I also allow the buns proof for a piece later on forming, as well as that isn't stated inwards the recipe too.
The recipe on the whole is pretty accurate downward to the seasonings, except for the telephone telephone for two large sugariness potatoes. Large? That's pretty ambigous and some large ones tin transportation away live on upward to 500gm each or 800gm each. Yes, I've seen actually large ones before. Somewhere inwards the instructions, it is said to retain 200gm of sugariness white patato puree. I gave a sigh of relief. I'll merely commencement alongside 250gm then, as well as of which is merely 1 palm lengthed one. Is that large to you? It's merely rather smallish to me. Puree weight lost is anticipated from the cooking, blending as well as scraping.. let's live on prophylactic that the required amount volition all the same remain, but non excessive. Oh yes, delight purchase at to the lowest degree 350gm of sugariness potatoes, as well as anticipate pare lost, or rotten parts. You won't know what you lot get, until you lot peel it. Slightly extra tin transportation away live on eaten.
