Recipe for Manapua!!

AH nothing like some local food from Hawaii-MANAPUA-Today I will show you the correct way to make a great recipe you will love!!

(Manapua) Stuffed Dough..This Recipe makes 2 dozen or more I got 36 out of my last batch..
Start with the Char Siu Meat first. The Pork can take 4+ Hours to cook. The Pork should tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
Char Siu (Meat Mix)
1. You will need a Pork Butt or Shoulder either will do.
2. Char Siu Mix (NOH) brand is this best to use.
3. Green Onions cleaned and chopped.
4. Take the Pork add a generous amount of Char Siu mix to cover all sides of the pork. Slow cook it for a good 4+ hours or until you can pull the meat apart with ease. Add Green Onions after your done pulling pork. Strain as much of the juice as possible so the dough wont be so wet. Set meat aside to cool to the touch.
Dough:
1. 1 3/4 Cup warm water
2. 3/4 Cup sugar
3. 1 packet of yeast
4. 1 tsp baking powder
5. 6 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour.
Dough Prep:
Dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Dissolved–immediately add baking powder (important step)..Knead dough till firm and dry. I use a kitchen aid with the dough hook. Dough: all depends on how long the dough takes to raise. Have patients with it.. Its worth the wait. I put dough inside a big bowl with a lid and place it in the sink with water above 105 degrees and wait for the lid to pop. Cut about 30 squares of Parchment Papers 4×4 is good enough. Prep a sheet pan with flour. The dough will be sticky make sure you have your hands covered in flour. Pull dough balls off about the size of a golf ball or larger depends on how big you want your Manapua–Remember the dough will be rising again before you stuff and while its cooking.

Stuffing and Steaming off the Manapua’s:
–Meat to dough ratio it’s almost 50/50 the dough will be able to pulled over the meat.Take the dough and flatten in not like a pancake leave the middle raised up. Put about 1 to 2 tablespoons of meat on the middle of the dough pull the edges of the dough over the meat pinch sides. Flip Manapua and place it on the parchment paper. At this point the dough is stufffed, flipped and ready for the steamer. Steaming the Manapua’s:
DO NOT STEAM Manapua’s on high that just makes the dough sweat and it becomes a sticky mess. Fill steamer with the correct amount of water. Med to Med-high temp Cooking time is about 10 mins. Place on cooling rack. Your PAU HANA!! (done work) eat and enjoy!!

Welcome to My Thoughts..

  I wonder if my blog will ever be read. I am not the best typer in the world so please bare with my typos.
If you have seen my picture Yes I took that photo. Whats Amazing about that photo, Picture this it was a very early in the morning. My family and I were on a Road Trip visitng my family. My father had his camera in his hands as well as I with mine aimed in the same direction we both captured the exact same lightning bolt with two cameras. chances of that are very very slim so we call it our bolt.

  Ive been told over and over that I have very active thoughts that some may find quite interesting to read and respond with there own thoughts I guess a mind debate. Funny thing im sitting here and I am blank I dont know where to begin--
    I stated I am disabled but lost my chances of getting disability because of timing in other words I was too late to make a claim My thought on that is where does all that money I put into disability go?? I am 35 and will have to walk with a cane for the rest of my life the disease I have there is no cure.. My Wife is currently in the Military.. We have son he is almost 9.. Since 2002 I havent been able to work a full-time job its the worst feeling when you unable I hate that word..unable..

  I never thought I would really start a blog--I do alot of research on almost everything so if any one ever has a question maybe I can help thats another reason I was told you should really start a blog cause you have all this info be it computers to new electronics all the way to breaking news, politics and more. Plus I dont have alot of people to really talk to almost all my friends are back in Hawaii.

 Closing this for now Ive already started to jump around when I start doing that its time to stop. I will continue with more later hava great night!!
