Cooking StepsHow to cook Pan-Fried Pork and Scallion Buns step by step

Step 1 Detail

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Combine flour with the yeast mixture and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 2 Detail

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: finely chop the scallions. Mix ground pork with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, salt, and sugar. Stir in one direction until the mixture becomes sticky. Fold in the chopped scallions and mix gently.
Step 3 Detail

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into small portions (about 40g each). Roll each portion into a round wrapper, keeping the center slightly thicker than the edges.
Step 4 Detail

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Pleat and pinch the edges together to seal the bun tightly.
Step 5 Detail

Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a flat-bottomed pan over medium heat. Arrange the buns in the pan, leaving some space between each one. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 6 Detail

Pour about 100ml of water into the pan (it should come up about 1/3 of the bun height). Cover with a lid immediately and cook for 8-10 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Step 7 Detail

Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottom. The buns should have a golden, crispy bottom and a soft, fluffy top. Serve hot.
