Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 2
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- 3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the kneaded 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 it doubles in size.
Filling Preparation
- 4
Combine Filling Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix together the ground pork, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
Assembling the Buns
- 5
Shape the Buns
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 4 inches wide. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.
- 6
Seal the Buns
Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal. Ensure there are no openings. Place each bun seam-side down on a piece of parchment paper.
Steaming

Prepare to Steam
Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Arrange the buns in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Steam the Buns
Cover the steamer and steam the buns for about 15-20 minutes until they are fluffy and cooked through.
