Instructions

1. Mix the yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup warm water in a mixer bowl. Rest 30 minutes.
2. Add the remaining warm water, flour, salt, sugar and oil to the yeast mixture. Knead on medium-low speed until smooth and elastic.
3. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise 3 hours or until tripled.
4. Dust the work surface with flour and baking powder, knead the dough 5 minutes, then divide into 8 pieces and roll each into a ball.
5. Set the balls on parchment in a lined baking sheet, cover with a slightly damp towel and let stand about 30 minutes until doubled.
6. Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
7. Flatten each ball, roll into a 3-inch circle with a thicker center, put 3 to 4 tablespoons of filling in the middle, then pleat and pinch the edges closed.
8. Place the buns on parchment in a steamer, about 1 1/2 inches apart, and rest 10 to 15 minutes.
9. Steam covered over boiling water, keeping water off the steamer and buns, for 15 minutes until fluffy and fully cooked. Remove the lid before turning off the heat.
