Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 7 grams Active Dry Yeast
- 180 ml Warm Water
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 250 grams Roast Pork (char siu), chopped
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-Free Tamari Sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth. You can add a little more water if the dough is too dry, or more flour if too wet.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by heating 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
Add the chopped roast pork, gluten-free tamari sauce, and scallions, stirring to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes until everything is well heated and mixed. Set aside to cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 8 equal portions.
Flatten each piece into a disc and spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the pork filling into the center of each disc.
Carefully gather the edges together over the filling, twisting to seal the top so the filling is enclosed in the bun.
Set the buns on small squares of parchment paper to prevent sticking and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil, then place the buns (along with their parchment paper) in the steamer tray, leaving some space between each bun.
Steam the buns for 15-20 minutes, until they are puffed and cooked through.
Remove the buns from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free roast pork steamed buns!
