Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 pound Pork shoulder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the dough for the buns. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and baking powder.
2. Gradually add warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms, then knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the roast pork. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
5. In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
6. Rub the spice mixture over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
7. Place the pork in a roasting dish and pour the chicken broth over it. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
8. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 3 hours or until it is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
9. Remove the pork from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Shred the pork using two forks and stir in sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey for additional flavor.
10. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air pockets. Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized portions and shape each into a ball.
11. Flatten each dough ball and place a spoonful of shredded pork filling in the center. Carefully seal the edges by pinching them together at the top.
12. Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a simmer. Place buns on parchment paper and into the steamer, ensuring they are not touching.
13. Steam the buns for about 15 minutes, or until they are fluffy and fully cooked.
14. Serve the steamed buns warm, and enjoy the flavorful filling encased in soft dough.
