STEAMED PORK BUNS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in water water in a bowl. Add milk, followed by butter and sugar; mix to combine. Add flour and mix to form a dough.
• Knead dough until a uniform ball emerges. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground pork with garlic, ginger, paste, salt, and pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set aside.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Do not allow boiling water to boil through steamer surface.
• While water comes to a boil, divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into a thin, wide circle with your hands and fingers.
• Place 1 tablespoon of prepared filling in the center of each circle of dough. Pull the sides of the dough together around the filling, gently pinching the top of the dough together to make a flower blossom gather at the top.
• Place about 8 buns onto the steamer surface and cover with lid. Cook until buns rise and expand, and are spongy to the touch, about 12 minutes. Repeat with remaining buns. Watch the hot steam! Remove buns from steamer surface with tongs carefully to avoid ripping; allow to cool slightly before eating.

KOREAN STEAMED PORK BUNS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Make the dough: 1.In a large bowl add 1 cup of warm water (under 40° Celsius, or 100° F), 2 ts dry yeast, ½ ts salt, 2 tbs vegetable oil, and 1 ts sugar. Mix well until the dry yeast is fully dissolved. 2.Add 3 cups of flour to the yeast water. Mix with a wooden spoon, then knead for 2-3 minutes. 3. Set aside in warm place until the dough doubles in size. 4. After the dough has risen, knead it again for 1 minute to remove any extra gas. Set it aside in warm place with the lid closed for 30 minutes. While we wait for this to rise, we can prepare the fillings: 1. In a large bowl, place: ◦1 cup chopped onion ◦½ cup chopped carrot ◦1½ cup chopped zucchini ◦1½ cup chopped green onions ◦2 cups chopped white mushrooms 2. Sprinkle 1 ts salt over top and mix it up by hand. Set aside for 10-15 minutes. 3. Squeeze the excess water out. *tip: using cheesecloth will make this easier. Wrap the chopped vegetables in cheesecloth and gently squeeze the water out. 4. In a mixing bowl, place: ◦400 grams (14 oz) of ground pork ◦1 ts soy sauce ◦2 cloves of minced garlic ◦1 ts sesame oil ◦½ ts ground black pepper 5. Mix it by hand and set aside. Let's cook! 1. In a heated pan, add 1 tbs vegetable oil and sauté the chopped vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Transfer them to a large bowl. 2. Heat up the pan again, and cook the seasoned pork for 3 minutes until fully cooked. 3. Put the pork into the bowl with the vegetables and mix it all up. Now let's make the buns: 1. Split the dough into 16 smaller pieces. 2. Take a few dough balls and put them on a floured cutting board. The rest of balls should be in the bowl with the lid closed, to prevent them from getting dried out. 3. Roll out each ball into a disk 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. 4. Place a disk into your palm and add 2-3 tbs of filling mixture to the center of it. 5. Lift the edges of the disk up around the filling, then press the edges together to seal the filling snugly inside the bun. 6. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, until you've made 16 buns. 7. Put 6-7 cups of water in the bottom of a large steamer and place each bun on the rack. *tip: Place cheesecloth or cotton cloth on the steamer rack before adding each bun. Baking cups also work well. When you place the buns on the rack, leave a 1 inch gap between them because they will get bigger when steamed. 8. Wait for 20 more minutes to let the dough rise even more. 9. Bring to a boil over high heat, and steam for 20 minutes. Dipping sauce: 1. Combine ⅓ cup soy sauce, 2 tbs of vinegar, and 2 ts sugar in a small bowl. 2. Add some chunks of onion (½ cup), chunks of green chili pepper, and roasted sesame seeds. When the buns are cooked, turn off the heat and remove the lid to prevent water from the top of the lid from dripping over the buns. Serve with the dipping sauce, and enjoy!
