- 2 cups pork, cooked (1/4 inch dice)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 lb ground pork
- 12 cup bok choy, finely chopped
- 12 cup green onion, finely choppped
- 14 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sherry wine
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 14 cup warm water
- 2 14 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 12 cup extra finely granulated sugar (Pulse in a grinder for 30 seconds)
- 1 cup whole milk, warm (105A F)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 12 tablespoons water
- For Filling #1, heat the oil over medium heat and saute the shallots 2 minutes or until light brown.
- Add the flour, stir to combine, and cook 1 minute.
- Add the chicken stock, stir well, and cook 2 minutes.
- Add soy sauce and cook one minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in cut pork and oyster sauce, sugar, peanut oil, and sesame oil.
- Chill until very firm.
- For Filling #2, simply mix all ingredients together.
- To make the dough, combine all dough ingredients into a stand mixer.
- Mix with the dough hook for 4 minutes.
- Use the oil to grease the outside of the dough; cover and let rest in warm area 1 1/2 hours or until double in size.
- Punch down dough and divide into 24 pieces.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each into a round disk, making quarter turn with each roll.
- Roll to leave the center thick; thinner edges are easier to pleat.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of filling at the center of each dough round, flat side up.
- Gather the edges by first pleating counterclockwise, and then twisting to seal securely.
- Place the bun round side up on a square piece of parchment paper (2.5 X 2.5 inches).
- Let buns rest, covered for at least 30 minutes.
- Steam on high heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Do not uncover the steamer any time during the steaming.
- If a flat lid steamer is used, wrap the lid in a kitchen towel to prevent condensed steam from dripping on the buns.
