Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil.
Knead the Dough
Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine ground pork or chicken, green onions, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
Assembly and Cooking
Shape the Buns
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, place a tablespoon of filling in the center, and pinch to seal.
Steam the Buns
Place the buns on parchment paper in a steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
