Number Of Ingredients 15

FILLING:
2 small pork chops, minced
1/2 onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
DOUGH:
1 tablespoon yeast
2 tablespoons warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Proof the yeast with the water and first measure of sugar until it is frothy. Then add it and the rest of the ingredients to your bread machine (or mix and knead by hand). Meanwhile, mince the pork and sauté in a little olive oil with the onions. Add the garlic and soy sauce towards the end of cooking. Set aside and let cool. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and punch down. Divide into 8 parts and flatten each one with the palm of your hand. Spoon a little bit of the filling into the center of each circle, then pull up the edges of the dough and twist to seal. Make sure the filling is completely contained by the dough. Repeat until you have eight little packets. Let the dough rise for another 45 minutes. Place the packets into a vegetable steamer and steam for 15 minutes (note: they puff up a lot, so you may need to do this in small batches).

These steamed pork buns were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These Keke Puaa are a great make-ahead meal. I made them on the weekend and then reheated them for dinner during the week.

These Keke Puaa were a bit more time-consuming to make than I expected, but they were definitely worth the effort. They were the perfect addition to my Chinese New Year celebration.
