Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 300g ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add Warm Water: Gradually add in the warm water, mixing until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  3. Knead the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. First Proof: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it proof for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the Filling: Mix the ground pork with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions.
  6. Punch Down and Divide Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide into 10 equal pieces.
  7. Shape the Buns: Roll each piece into a 4-inch disc.
  8. Fill the Buns: Place about a tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each disc and seal.
  9. Prepare for Steaming: Place each bun on parchment paper, cover loosely, and let them rest for 15 minutes.
  10. Steam the Buns: Steam the buns on medium-high for 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
  11. Rest and Serve: Let the buns rest for 2 minutes, drizzle with chili oil, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure the water used for proofing is warm, not hot. Experiment with different fillings for variety.
