Chinese Steamed Buns

Ingredients - Serves 6

Let's Get Started

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the ground pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and cornstarch.
  5. Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each portion into a circle. Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each circle.
  6. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the filling. Place the buns on a steamer lined with parchment paper.
  7. Steam the buns over high heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the filling is hot.
  8. Serve the Chinese steamed buns hot and enjoy!
