Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded 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 it has doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Salsa Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a separate bowl, mix together the diced stonefruit, sweet pickle relish, chopped roasted peanuts, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.

Assemble and Steam

  1. 7

    Shape the Buns

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc.

  2. 8

    Fill the Buns

    Place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each disc. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.

  3. 9

    Steam the Buns

    Place the buns on parchment paper squares in a steamer. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until the buns are fluffy and cooked through.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve the steamed pork buns warm with the stonefruit salsa on the side for dipping.
