Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Shape Buns

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces (about 12). Roll each piece into a circle, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal.

  2. 7

    Steam Buns

    Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper. Place the buns in the steamer, making sure they are not touching. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the steamed buns warm, either plain or with additional soy sauce for dipping.
