Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven to restore their crispiness.  

Ingredients (Yield: 12 Buns)

For the Dough:

- 4g active dry yeast
- 10g granulated sugar 
- 175ml lukewarm water 
- 290g bread flour

For the Filling:

- 250g pork meat
- 150-200g cabbage
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp corn starch

Other:

- 1 tsp honey 
- 1 tsp water
- Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
- Shred the cabbage, wash, drain, and salt it. 
- Let the cabbage sit for 30 minutes to release excess juices, then drain thoroughly.
- Add the remaining filling ingredients and combine well.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Make the Dough:
- In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and lukewarm water.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes soft and smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for an hour or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, deflate the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball, flatten it slightly, and use a rolling pin to roll it into 10 cm circles.
- Place a portion of the filling in the center of each circle, pleat the edges, and seal the buns.
- Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
- Brush the tops of the buns with the honey-water mixture, then sprinkle them with sesame seeds.
3. Bake the Buns:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Place the baking tray on the middle rack and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 230°C (445°F) and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes. Monitor closely to prevent burning. Adjust the time as needed based on your oven's performance.
- Freeze any leftover buns and steam them to reheat when desired.
