Ingredients
Dough
Hoisin Sauce
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.
