Dough

Ingredients

300g Cake Flour

7g Instant Yeast

9g Baking Powder

70g White Sugar

2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

150 mℓ Water

Filling

Ingredients

500g Pork Mince

2 cloves Garlic; minced

1 Tbsp Ginger; grated

3 Spring Onions; finely sliced

3 Tbsp Coriander; finely chopped

1/2 tsp White Sugar

1/2 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp White Pepper

1 Chicken Stock Cube; crumbled

1 Tbsp Soy Sauce

1/4 cup Water

2 tsp Vinegar

To Fry

Ingredients

1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

1/4 cup Water

Steps

In a large bowl combine the flour, instant yeast, baking powder and sugar.

Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegetable oil and water.

Bring the dough together, and once combined well enough, begin kneading on a clean work surface for 10 minutes. If you poke your finger in the dough and it springs back up, the dough is ready.

Place the dough in a bowl and cover. Rest for 1 hour in a warm place.

In another large bowl combine the pork mince, garlic, ginger, spring onions, coriander, white sugar, salt, white pepper, chicken stock cube, soy sauce, water and vinegar.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough, fold in half and roll out again. Repeat another 2 times. Then roll the dough into a log and divide it into 16 pieces.

Roll each piece into a small ball and then roll it out with a rolling pin. Roll the edges of each piece slightly thinner than the centre.

Place a small amount of the pork filling, (about 1 tablespoon) into the centre of the dough and close it by creating pleats. Pinch the top of the bun closed.

In a large frying pan, fry the bottoms of the buns in the vegetable oil until golden brown.

Pour in the water and cover with a lid. The buns will finish steaming once all of the water is evaporated.

Serve with sliced spring onions, soy sauce and chilli oil and enjoy!
