Filling

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped spring onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

2

Prepare the Dough

In a separate bowl, mix 500g of all-purpose flour with 1 tsp of instant yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add 250ml of warm water and knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

3

Shape the Buns

Divide the rested dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle, about 10 cm in diameter. Place a generous tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each circle. Pleat the edges to seal the bun.

4

Steam the Buns

Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper to prevent sticking and place the buns inside, leaving space between them. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until the buns are puffed and cooked through.
