• red food coloring
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• black pepper
• oil
• cornstarch
• bamboo skewer

Instructions

1. 1 Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 2 minutes. Rinse eggs in cold water and cool to room temperature; peel.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• active dry yeast
• white sugar
• rice flour
• vegetable shortening
• vegetable oil
• onion
• garlic
• chicken
• soy sauce
• sugar
• green onion
• salt
• black pepper
• cornstarch

Instructions

1. 1 Dissolve yeast in the water; stir in the sugar and beat in 2 1/2 cups of rice flour to make a soft sponge. Set aside in a warm place to double in bulk, about 40 minutes. Mix in 2 more cups of rice flour and 1/4 cup of shortening and place the dough on a greased work surface; knead in the remaining 1/4 cup of shortening to make a smooth dough. Cut the dough into 15 equal-sized pieces; form each piece into a ball.
2. 2 Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, green onion, salt, and pepper. If the mixture is juicy, add cornstarch to thicken.
3. 3 Working on a lightly greased work surface, flatten a dough ball into a circle about 4 inches in diameter with the heel of your hand. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the dough ball, bring the edges of the dough together at the top, and pinch and twist to seal in the filling. Place each filled dumpling onto waxed paper with the pinched seal at the bottom while you finish the rest of the dumplings.
4. 4 Spray a multi-layered bamboo steamer with cooking spray, place the steamer on top of a large saucepan, and pour in water to several inches below the steamer. Bring the water to a boil.
5. 5 Working in several batches, place 3 or 4 filled buns into each steamer layer without letting the buns touch each other or the edge of the steamer, cover the steamer, and let the buns steam over medium-low heat until puffy and the dough is springy, about 15 minutes per batch. Serve warm.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• quince
• sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Wash, peel, and core quinces, reserving cores and peels. Coarsely chop flesh and transfer fruit to a large pan. Wrap cores and peels in cheesecloth, tie the bag with kitchen string and add it to the pan. (The peels contain most of fruit's pectin, which contributes to the firmness of quince paste.)
2. 2 Pour in enough water to cover quinces and boil, with the pan partly covered, until fruit is soft, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the bag of peels and pass quince flesh through a sieve or food mill. (For best results, don't use a food processor as it will result in too fine a texture.) You should have about 2 ½ pounds of fruit pulp.
3. 3 Transfer quince pulp to a saucepan and add sugar. Ideally, you should add the same amount of sugar, by weight, as fruit pulp. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, frequently stirring with a wooden spoon, until paste becomes very thick and has a deep orange color, about 1 ½ hours. Draw the wooden spoon along the bottom of the saucepan: it should leave a trail, and quince mixture will stick to the spoon.
4. 4 Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with greased parchment paper. Transfer quince paste to the baking dish, spreading it about 1 ½ inches thick. Smooth the top and allow it to cool.
5. 5 Dry paste for about 1 ½ hours on your lowest oven setting, no more than 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Allow quince paste to cool completely before slicing. In Europe, the traditional method of drying quince paste is to leave it in a cupboard for about 7 days. The remaining juices will continue to evaporate and render a drier paste.
6. 6 Store quince paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator; the color will deepen with age.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• whole wheat flour
• active dry yeast
• all-purpose flour
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Stir water, flour, and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer until moistened. Mix in 1 cup flour and salt. Gradually mix in remaining 2 cups flour with a dough hook attachment until dough comes together.
2. 2 Knead dough until elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add more flour or water, if needed, to keep dough from getting sticky or too stiff. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. 3 Punch down dough and roll into a long log; cut into 30 small walnut-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. 4 Place an ungreased baking sheet on the center rack of the oven; preheat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
5. 5 Roll each ball into a circle about 8 inches in diameter; dough should be paper thin and almost translucent. (If dough is too thick, it will bubble up like pita bread.)
6. 6 Pull out the oven shelf and place as many crackers onto the hot baking sheet as possible. Close the oven and bake until lightly browned on top with small bubbles, about 3 minutes.
7. 7 Remove crackers from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
8. 8 Repeat Steps 5 to 7 to bake remaining batches, adjusting dough thickness as necessary.
