- 8 grams Baking powder
- 5 grams Salt
- 30 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 500 grams Pork shoulder, cubed
- 60 milliliters Soy sauce, low sodium
- 15 grams Garlic, minced
- 10 grams Ginger, grated
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 15 milliliters Sesame oil

- 100 grams Cabbage, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Step 2
Add warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix to form a dough and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 3
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 4
While the dough is rising, prepare the roast pork filling. Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chopped onion and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the onion and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the pork cubes to the pan and sear on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Pour in the soy sauce and mix thoroughly. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes until the pork is tender.
Step 9
Add chopped cabbage and cook for additional 5-10 minutes until the cabbage is soft. Season with black pepper.
Step 10
Remove the pork filling from heat and let it cool down.
Step 11
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead it for another 2 minutes.
Step 12
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Step 13
Flatten each ball into a disc and place a generous tablespoon of pork filling in the center.
Step 14
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to seal into a bun shape, pinching the top to ensure it's closed.
Step 15
Place the buns on squares of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 16
Rest the filled buns for 15 minutes before steaming.
Step 17
Set up a steamer and steam the buns for 15-20 minutes until they are puffed up and cooked through.
Step 18
Serve fresh and enjoy your sugar-free roast pork buns!
