I have tried many recipes, but this is my proudest recipe that was a big hit.

The skin has both baking powder and yeast in it which makes fluffy buns. Use a lot of onion and shaoxing wine to enhance the flavor.  
You can use yeast only to make Xiaolongbao. Recipe by Kuminchan

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the dough. Warm the water to body temperature, sprinkle in the dry yeast and sugar, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and the baking powder. Pour in half the yeast mixture and mix it briefly by hand. Add the rest of the mixture and mix evenly.

  3. 3

    Once it comes together, add the vegetable oil and mix until smooth. Wrap it with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a double-boiler until the dough becomes 1.5-2 times its original size.

  4. 4

    Make the fillings. Finely chop the onion and microwave until tender. Leave it until cool.

  5. 5

    In a bowl, add the ground pork and the A ingredients, and mix well until sticky. Add the katakuriko and onion and keep mixing.

  6. 6

    When the dough is done rising, punch down and cut with a knife into 4 pieces. Roll each dough into a ball, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Divide the filling into 4 portions. Wrap it with the dough and close the seam tightly. Place the dough onto parchment paper cut into 8 cm square.

  8. 8

    If you have time, leave the dough to rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature, while keeping it from drying out. They'll become more fluffy.

  9. 9

    Steam the buns in a piping steamer for about 15 minutes. Bring the freshly steamed buns to the table.

  10. 10

    You can make 8 mini buns.
