Dough Instructions
- Stir the warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small dish until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Stir to dissolve the yeast.
- Stir sugar, the salt, and cooking oil in a large bowl. Add boiling water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the egg and the yeast mixture.
- Slowly work in enough flour until soft dough forms. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in large greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover it with greased waxed paper and a tea towel. Let it stand in the oven with the oven light on and the oven door closed for 1 ½ to 2 hours until doubled in bulk.
- Punch down the dough. Cover. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Shape it into a 12-inch/30 centimeter long log. Cut it into 12 pieces.
Filling and Assembly Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients together.
- Follow the YouTube video above to roll your buns.
- In a large pot, heat a few inches of water until boiling. Place a vegetable steamer (or bamboo steamer) in the bottom of the pot and line with parchment paper. Place about 6 buns at a time, taking care not to overcrowd them.
- Steam the buns for about 12 minutes each, until they puff up and the meat is cooked though. Replenish water when necessary.
