👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the cubed pork shoulder with char siu sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, water, and optional red food coloring. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
- 2
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 4
Cook the filling: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- 5
Assemble the manapua: Punch down the risen dough. Divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a circle about 4 inches in diameter, making the edges slightly thinner than the center.
- 6
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled char siu filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pleating as you go to seal the bun. Pinch tightly to close.
- 7
Place each assembled manapua on a small square of parchment paper. Let them rest for about 15 minutes.
- 8
Steam the manapua: Arrange the manapua in a steamer basket, leaving some space between them. Steam over boiling water for 12-15 minutes, or until the buns are puffed and cooked through.

Serve hot.
