- 200 grams, 100 grams Cake flour, Bread flour
- 45 grams Sugar
- 1 tsp Dried yeast
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tbsp Skim milk powder (if you have some on hand)

- 1 dash Salt and pepper
- 200 grams Pork sliced and chopped
- 1/2 Onion (small)
- 4 Shiitake mushrooms

- Put all the ingredients for the bun dough into your bread machine.
- Be sure to put the sugar and the yeast in together, and put the salt in to the side so that it doesn't touch the yeast.
- Set the bread maker for the first rising, and allow the dough to rise.
- It takes about 1.5 hours.
- The dough is ready when it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the ingredients for the filling.
- Dice all of the vegetables into 1 cm chunks.
- Mix the seasonings, meat, and chopped vegetables, and knead them together.
- Divide the filling into 10 portions, shape them into balls, and refrigerate.
- I took 4 of the meat balls and decided to try making them curry flavored by mixing them with some leftover curry that I had.
- Divide the risen dough into 10 portions and shape them into balls.
- Each ball will weigh about 50 g.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough balls out into circles like this.
- The center should be a little thicker, and the edges will be on the thin side.
- Set the balls of filling into the rolled out dough circles, and, making little pleats as you go, wrap the dough up and close it tightly.
- If you don't pinch them tightly, the buns will come open when steaming.
- They should look like this.
- Cut out 10 x 10 cm squares of parchment paper and set each bun on a square.
- Set the buns into a steamer, spacing them apart.
- Steam for 15 minutes.
- Do NOT open the lid when steaming!
- Look how big they got!
- One of the buns came open...you can see the meat juices inside.
- Eat with spicy mustard and soy sauce.
