  4. Transfer dough to thermomat and roll into a ball, wrap and leave for 1 hour or until doubled in size (you can use an oiled bowl covered with a tea towel if you don't have a thermomat)

  5. Pork Filling

  7. Add pork, sesame oil, and hoi sin sauce and mix 20 secs/Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" /sp2

  10. Once dough has proved roll into a sausage shape then divide into 6 pieces. Flatten each piece into a round about 0.5cm thick

  11. Spread a teaspoon of hoi sin sauce onto the middle of each piece of dough (don't spread it right to the edge) then divide the pork mix between the 6 and dollop in the middle

  12. Lightly oil your fingers and wrap the dough around the mixture pinching it closed so that it forms a ball shape

  13. Steaming
  14. Add 1litre of hot water to the bowl and bring it to temperature 5mis/varoma/sp1 with mc on 

  15. Whilst the water is heating lightly oil the varoma dish and tray and place 3 buns on the dish and 3 on the tray. You may need to press them down a little so they're not touching the underside of the tray and the varoma lid (also bear in mind they will rise slightly)

  16. Once water has reached varoma temp put the varoma in place and steam 20mins/varoma/sp1

  17. Serve immediately with your choice of salad

Tip

I make this with left over pulled pork (which was a slow cooked pork shoulder) but you could use any filling you like.

Serve with a Asian inspired salad. I sliced apple, celery, cucumber and mint and tossed it in a fish sauce, lime juice and palm sugar dressing.

You can use either TM31 or TM5.

You can easily double this recipe for a family however you may not be able to steam all the buns at once.

    SmileYumm absolutely delicious. I used pork , chicken and some left over ham. Will certainly do again . Next time I probably will reduce the ginger by a smidge

    Just made these but for the filling I used leftovers from the BCB Aussie Meat Pie filling. My daughter who loves steamed pork buns in Japan said the dough was almost identical - a bit denser and moister but delicious, and she wants more! Will try with your pork filling next time.

    These were delicious!  I made a couple of changes:  I used pork mince though which I cooked on the stovetop (my personal preference because I don't like the texture of mince cooked in thermi) but I followed the recipe and added a but more ginger, Hoi Sin and Sesame Oil because I had 500g of mince.  I also used an onion instead of shallots.  I doubled the dough and made 12 buns all up and cooked them in the varoma for a total of 30 minutes....perfect!  Have heaps of mince left over and they were so good I am making them again tonight!

    These had lots of flavour. The dough needed a bit of colour on them maybe cook for a few minutes in a frypan just to give a bit of colour on the outside.  They were very nice and super easy to make
