Instructions

  1. Warm the milk and pour into a small bowl.  Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and stir through. Set to one side to allow the yeast to start to bubble.
  2. In another bowl place the flour, the rest of the sugar and the salt. Add the oil. Pour in the milk and yeast mixture.
    Using a fork start to mix the dough together.
  3. Once it starts to form a dough tip out onto a lightly floured surface and start to knead. Knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes until it is nice and smooth.
    Place a little oil in the bottom of a bowl and coat the dough in the oil. Cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place for at least an hour to prove.
  4. Take the cooked pork, cut into small cubes and place in a bowl. Chop the chives and add to the pork. Add the Soy Sauce, Hoisin and Sesame Seeds and mix together.
  5. Once the dough has doubled in size remove from the bowl and place onto a warm, floured surface. Cut into 8 equal size pieces and roll into a ball. Use a rolling to roll out flat circles about 5-6 inches / 12-15cm in diameter.
    Place a spoonful of the pork mixture into the centre of the dough.
    Then take the edge of the dough and pinch together over the pork mixture to form a tight seal.
    Place each dough ball onto a small square of waxed paper and place into a steamer. Cover with a lid and steam over simmering water for about 20 minutes.
  6. Once cooked remove from the steamer and your steamed buns are ready to be served. Serve with a little Soy Sauce and enjoy.                                                                                  Screen Shot 2016-01-24 at 12.20.45 PM
