[Sca-cooks] steam-baking

[Elaine Koogler]

I found the following recipe in Soup for the Qan, and we served it at our
Festival of Kites a couple of years ago.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it....

 [93.] *Chuqmin (same as "long bread")
 White flour (ten chin), vegetable oil (one chin), Chinese flower pepper
(one liang; roast and discard the juice), fennel (one liang; roast).

 [Mix] ingredients and keep overnight.  Use leaven, salt, soda and warm
water.  Combine this with flour [dough].  The next day add flour to thicken.
Combine again into a dough.  Divide each chin [of dough] into two loaves.
Put into a lung and steam.
