Instructions
Prepare the filling
Mix the ground pork belly, water, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, MSG, fine granulated sugar, and white pepper powder together. Stir until the mixture becomes sticky, then fold in the chopped scallions. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the dough
Dissolve the instant dry yeast in the water. Combine with the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine granulated sugar, and poria powder to form a dough. Knead by hand until smooth, then rest for about 15 minutes.
Divide, shape, fill, proof, and steam
Divide the dough into 40 g portions. Flatten each portion and rest for about 10 minutes, then roll into bun wrappers. Wrap the filling inside and seal into large buns. Place the buns on parchment paper in a steamer and proof until doubled in size. Steam over high heat for 15–18 minutes until cooked through.
