INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
    • 💧 ¼ cup warm water
    • 🥛 ¾ cup warm milk
    • 🧈 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
    • 🍬 2 teaspoons white sugar
    • 🌾 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • Filling

    • 🐖 1 pound ground pork
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ teaspoon ginger paste
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 🌶 Ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Add milk, butter, and sugar; mix to combine. Add flour and mix to form a dough.

2

Knead dough until a uniform ball forms. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 30 minutes.

3

Cook ground pork with garlic, ginger, salt, and black pepper in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

4

Prepare a steamer by filling a saucepan with water just below the steamer insert. Bring water to a boil.

5

Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten into a thin circle.

6

Place 1 tablespoon of the prepared filling in the center of each circle of dough. Pinch the edges together at the top to seal.

7

Steam 8 buns at a time for 12 minutes until the dough rises and becomes spongy. Repeat with the remaining buns.
