Steps:

• Spread Gochujang Aioli inside the Bao Buns. Fill Buns with about 3 ounces of Fried Chicken each. Top with scallions and Pickled Fresno Chiles.
• Combine yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let yeast bloom 5 to 10 minutes, then stir.
• Combine all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, salt, milk powder, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Add to the water and yeast mixture.
• Mix on low speed until the ingredients start to come together and form a ball. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix for 5 minutes. Dough is ready when slightly tacky and elastic, but not sticky.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, work into a ball, then put in a bowl lightly coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until it is doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Gently punch down dough to get rid of excess air.
• Cut dough into 2-ounce portions and roll into balls. With a rolling pin, roll out each ball into oblong rounds on a lightly floured surface. Spray one side with nonstick spray. Fold in half oiled side in.
• Line a steamer basket with parchment paper and place buns on top. Set over simmering water and cover, then let steam until fluffy and slightly shiny, 6 to 7 minutes.

TASSA'S TURKEY CORNUCOPIA BURGER WITH PAPRIKA AIOLI

Steps:

• Aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard and paprika in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Burger:
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Combine the ground turkey, onion, carrot, bell pepper, Parmesan and all of the seasonings in a large bowl. Lightly whisk the egg separately and then fold it in to the meat mixture. Form the turkey into patties. Lightly brush grill grates with olive oil, then arrange the patties on the grill and firmly close the grills lid. Cook while making sure the patties obtain grill marks, about 6 to 8 minutes. Gently flip each burger over and continue grilling. Add the provolone after 3 minutes and shut the lid once more to melt the cheese, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the patties from heat and keep them warm by casually tenting them in foil. Reduce the grills heat to medium, add another brush of olive oil and arrange the buns on grill, toasting them until they are heated through and slightly crispy, about 2 minutes. Assemble the burgers by spreading the Paprika Aioli onto the bottom halves of the buns, and topping it with the meat patties. Garnish with a slice of avocado, a slice of tomato and a helping of alfalfa sprouts. Cover with the bun tops and enjoy!
