Step 3/4

• water, for steaming
• flour, for dusting

• spoon
• cutting board
• knife
• large pot
• rolling pin

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Roll the dough into a log shape and cut into 15 equal portions. Dust the work surface with flour, then use a rolling pin to roll out the pieces of dough into equal-sized circles, rotating the dough as you roll it to ensure an even thickness. Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle and gently pull and pinch the edges together to make a tight seal. Set aside to rise for 20 min.

Transfer buns to a steam basket set over boiling water and steam for approx. 15 min. Allow to cool and enjoy!
