Step 1

Combine barbecued pulled pork with char siu sauce.

Step 2

Make dough #1. Mix well to a paste consistency, cover with plastic wrap, and leave at room temperature (74F) for 1 hour.

Step 3

Make dough #2. Combine dry ingredients with a whisk. Add pork fat and combine it with dry ingredients with a whisk. The result should look like crumbs.

Step 4

After dough #1 doubles, combine it with dough #2 and knead a soft dough.

Step 5

Shape it into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover it with plastic and let it double at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 portions (52g each). Shape them into balls and let rest for 10-15 minutes, covered. Flatten each into 4" D disks, thicker in the center, thinner on the edges. Place 3-4 tbsp of pork filling in the center of each disk and shape buns.

Step 7

Line steaming baskets with parchment paper sprayed with vegetable oil and arrange buns giving them enough space to double during the cooking. Cover and let rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, start boiling water in the wok.

Step 8

Steam buns for 12-13 minutes. Serve with hot tea or meat broth.
