1/4 ts Ginger – ground
1 Egg Yolk
2 tb Soy Sauce

Cut into 2-inch circles using biscuit cutter.

Place a rounded teaspoon of pork mixture in center of
each dough circle. Fold circle over filling, creating
a “half moon” turnover. Press edges together lightly
with fingers. Place filled dumplings on oiled plate.

In 3-quart saucepan bring 2 quarts of water to boil.
Drop dumplings in boiling water. Allow to boil one
minute AFTER the dumpling returns to surface of water.

skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add
dumplings; fry, turning often, until lightly brown.
Drain on paper towels.

2 tb Dry red wine
1 tb Brown sugar
1 tb Honey
2 ts Red food coloring,
If desired
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 Clove garlic, crushed

NOTE: these buns are cooked in bamboo steamers which
are available in Chinese and specialty gourmet
cookware stores. The round steamers can be purchased
in various sizes separately or in sets of two of three
tiers. For cooking, the covered steamer (s) is (are)
placed over boiling water in a wok or large saucepan.

The above is quoted directly from a section connected
to the recipe. This is my own note. I do not like
the flavor that a bamboo steamer imparts to recipes;
therefore, I bought an aluminum Chinese steamer. 1.
Combine hoi sin sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and
sesame oil. Chop pork and onions finely.

2. Heat vegetable oil in wok or fry pan over high
heat. Stir-fry ginger and garlic in the oil 1 minute.
Stir in hoi sin mixture. Cook and stir two minutes.
Combine 1/2 cup of the water and the cornstarch.
Blend into hoi sin mixture. Cook and stir until
liquid boils. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 2
minutes. Stir in pork and onions. Remove from heat.
Cool completely.

3. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in large
bowl. Cut or rub in shortening until mixture
resembles bread crumbs. Combine remaining 3/4 cup of
the water and the vinegar. Mix water-vinegar into
flour until dough sticks together. Shape dough into
ball. Knead on lightly floured surface 6 or 8 times.
Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 20 minutes.
Uncover and knead 4 or 5 more times. Divide dough
into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portions into a smooth ball.

4. Roll each ball of dough on lightly floured surface
into a circle 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Brush around
edges lightly with water. Spoon a heaping tablespoon
of pork mixture onto center of each circle. Carefully
pinch edges together to seal dough around filling.
Bring the two ends of dough over the seam and pinch
together.

5. Cut waxed paper into twelve 5-inch squares. Brush
one side of paper lightly with oil. Place a bun, seam
side down, on each square.

6.Place buns with paper in single layer on steamer
rack over boiling water. Cover and steam buns until
done about 20 minutes.

Yield: 1 dozen
