Ingredients
- 1 cup prepared pulled pork
- 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 (7.5-ounce) canisters refrigerated biscuit dough (20 total biscuits)
- 1/4 cup hoisin
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Method
- Special equipment: 1 (2 1/2 or 2 3/4-inch) biscuit cutter; steamer, steamer basket or bamboo steamer
- For the pork buns: Bring 2 cups water to a simmer in a pot that will fit a steamer basket or a bamboo steamer.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the pork, ginger and scallions.
- Set aside
- Working with 1 dough canister (10 biscuits) at a time, roll out the biscuits with a rolling pin until they are about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Place 1 heaping tablespoon pork mixture in the center of 5 of the biscuits.
- Cover each with a remaining rolled-out biscuits.
- Gently press the biscuits together all the way around the filling and to the edges.
- Place a (2 1/2 or 2 3/4-inch) biscuit cutter on top so that it is centered on the bun.
- Press down on the cutter to form a clean, sealed edge and remove the excess dough from around the outside of the biscuit cutter.
- (If you do not have a biscuit cutter then just pinch together the edges of the buns with your fingers.)
- Place the sealed buns onto a sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Place the buns into the steamer basket.
- Depending on the size of your steamer, you may have to cook the buns in batches of 5.
- Place the steamer basket over the pot of simmering water, cover and steam, about 10 minutes.
- The buns will be puffed and the tops will look somewhat dry and shiny.
- Let cool 1 to 2 minutes.
- While the buns are steaming, make the hoisin dipping sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water and the vinegar.
- Serve with the buns.
