551-Style Steamed Pork Buns
A friend taught me how to make these buns. I've adapted the recipe slightly, and have been making it for years.
I've always made my own steamed pork buns, so my daughters didn't know until recently that they sell steamed buns at convenience stores.
You don't need to let the dough rise completely like when making bread.
If you get filling on the seams (edges) of the dough, the buns won't close up properly, so be sure not to overfill them.
If you don't close up the buns securely, they'll open up while steaming, so do be sure to pinch them completely closed. For 8 buns. Recipe by nattsu47

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put an empty bowl on a kitchen scale, and measure the dough ingredients. Add 100 ml of lukewarm water little by little while mixing and kneading the dough. The dough is OK once there are no lumps of yeast.
- 2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and leave at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Make the filling in the meantime.
- 3
Finely chop the onion and mix with panko.
- 4
Put the onion, panko and the rest of the filling in a bowl (place the bowl on the scale beforehand again and measure the ingredients). Mix well and divide into 8 balls.
- 5
Divide the dough into 8, and roll out each portion with a rolling pin. If you can make the perimeter of each dough circle thinner than the center, the filling will settle in the middle of the bun.
- 6
Spoon a ball of filling on each dough circle and wrap it. If you get filling on the edges, the dough will not close up so be careful! Seal the buns closed properly!
- 7
Bring water to a boil in a steamer, line the steamer rack with parchment paper, and place in the buns. Steam over medium heat for 20 minutes, and they're done.

Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns) Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns)
These nikuman have fluffy and light yet still nicely chewy dough, and a ginger-scented filling. If you wrap them this way it's easy and the results are very neat.http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/aigomi2087This method makes dough that is light and fluffy even when the room temperature is below 25°C, so in the summertime the pre-proofing step is not necessary. You can just mix all the ingredients up at room temperature.It's probably not possible to steam the buns all at once, so you can steam half and pan fry half to enjoy the buns in two ways.

Juicy Nikuman (Steamed Pork Buns) in a Bread Maker Juicy Nikuman (Steamed Pork Buns) in a Bread Maker
I was just thinking that I hadn't made nikuman for a while. My goal was to make pork buns similar to those from a particular famous restaurant in Osaka, but these came out so juicy that they're more like jumbo-sized soup dumplings! Super tasty though!!You can also mix and knead the dough by hand rather than in a bread maker. If you roll the dough circles too thin, the moisture inside the buns will leak through, so be careful of this. Be sure to pinch the buns very tightly closed. Instead of onions, you can finely chop about a 10 cm section of the thick white stem part of Napa cabbage leaves. With this substitution it won't be as sweet and the flavor will be milder.
