Step 4

Bring all the content to a boiling and then slow down the fire to simmer for around 2 hours.

Step 5

Turn off the fire and then soak the pork belly within the soup for at least 2 hours. Reheat it before assembling.

Step 6

Mix instead yeast with flour. And then stir the water in. Stir the flour with chop sticker or similar things during the process. Knead the dough until smooth. Cover with a wet cloth or plastic wrap to rest for around 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on your temperature until the dough is 1/3 bigger than the previous one. (The surface is completely smooth but there is no Honeycomb texture inside).

Step 10

Repeat the process to finish all the buns. Preheat oven to 190 degree C.
