Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 pound Ground pork (or chicken/beef)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.333 cup Water (for steaming during frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Mix the warm water, milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a separate bowl. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and knead until a soft and elastic dough forms, about 8-10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a pan over medium heat, cook the ground pork until no longer pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Cook for another minute, then remove the filling from the heat and let it cool completely.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the filling inside the bun.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the buns seam side down into the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Add 1/3 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to allow the buns to steam.
Cook covered for 8-10 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the buns are cooked through.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy!
