Ingredients

The buns

  • 150 g plain flour
  • ½ tsp instant dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • a pinch salt
  • 80 ml lukewarm milk
  • 1 tbsp sesame seed oil

The filling

  • 100 g pork mince
  • ¼ cup finely chopped scallions
  • ½ tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • ½ tbsp sesame seed oil
  • ½ tsp soy sauce
  • a pinch salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp salad oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and create a well in the center.
  2. Add the instant dry yeast and sugar into the well, then pour in the lukewarm milk and mix.
  3. Incorporate the sesame seed oil and salt, then knead until a dough forms.
  4. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough rises, combine all filling ingredients in a bowl and knead until sticky.
  6. Divide the filling into 6 portions and shape them into patties.
  7. Once the dough has risen, cut it into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a circle.
  8. Flatten each dough piece and roll it out to about 10 cm in diameter.
  9. Place a filling patty in the center of each dough circle.
  10. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal the filling inside, creating pleats.
  11. Place each bun on parchment paper and arrange them in a bamboo steamer.
  12. Steam the buns over boiling water for 15 minutes.
  13. Turn off the heat and serve the buns warm.
