Making fluffy, flavorful pork and vegetable buns at home is easier than you think! Follow this step-by-step guide for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients: For the dough, you’ll need 300g all-purpose flour, 3g active dry yeast, 1 tbsp sugar, 120ml warm water, and 1 tsp salt. For the filling, mix 200g ground pork, 100g shredded cabbage (drained), 50g diced shiitake mushrooms, 2 chopped green onions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp white pepper, and a pinch of sugar.

Steps:

1. Make the dough: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Mix with flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.

2. Prepare the filling: Sauté mushrooms until tender. Mix all filling ingredients in a bowl; chill for 20 minutes.

3. Shape the buns: Punch down dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a 15cm circle. Place 2 tbsp filling in the center, fold edges, and pleat to seal.

4. Steam: Place buns on parchment-lined steamer trays. Let rest for 15 minutes. Steam over high heat for 15 minutes. Turn off heat; let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Serve warm with soy sauce or chili oil. These buns are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack!
