**Mini Steamed Pork Bun**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb ground pork
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Package of store-bought or homemade steamed bun dough
**Instructions:**
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Take a small portion of the steamed bun dough and flatten it into a circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of the dough circle.
3. Gently gather the edges of the dough circle and pinch them together at the top, twisting to seal the bun. Repeat this process until all the pork mixture is used up.
4. Prepare a steamer by adding water to the pot and bringing it to a simmer. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
5. Place the prepared mini pork buns onto the parchment paper with some space in between each bun to allow for expansion during steaming.
6. Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the buns over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the filling is hot.
7. Carefully remove the steamed pork buns from the steamer using tongs or a spatula. Serve hot and enjoy these delicious mini treats!
