Ingredients - Serves 10
- Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
- Ginger - 1 tablespoon, minced
- Green onions - 4, chopped
- Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
- Ground pork - 1 pound
- All-purpose flour - 4 cups
- Warm water - 1 cup
- Sugar - 1/4 cup
- Active dry yeast - 1 tablespoon
Let's Get Started
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the flour and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Mix well.
- After the dough has risen, divide it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disc.
- Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each disc. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the bun.
- Place the buns on a piece of parchment paper in a steamer. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Steam the buns over high heat for 15 minutes, or until the buns are puffy and the filling is cooked through.
