Ingredients

Dough

Hoisin Sauce

Preparation

Preparing the Dough

1. Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Let the Dough Rise

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

Steaming the Buns

5. Shape the Buns

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.

6. Prepare for Steaming

Place each dough ball on a piece of parchment paper, ensuring they have space to expand.

7. Steam the Buns

In a steamer pot, bring water to a boil. Place the buns (with parchment paper) in the steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 15-20 minutes until fluffy and cooked through.

Making the Hoisin Sauce

8. Mix the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
