Ingredients

  • 200 g Pancake Mix
  • 70 ml Water
  • 5 g Olive Oil
  • 100 g Ground Pork
  • 80 g Onion
  • 15 g Miso
  • 15 g Sugar
  • 10 g Soy Sauce
  • 15 g Mirin Sweet Sake
  • Sesame Oil To taste
  • Potato Starch As needed

Instructions

  • The onion should be finely minced.
  • In a bowl, add the pork, miso, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and potato starch, and mix well.
  • Divide up the mixture into 6 even-sized balls.
  • In another bowl, lightly mix together the pancake mix and olive oil, then continue mixing while adding water little by little.
  • If the mixture sticks to your fingers, add potato starch until it no longer does.
  • Divide this mixture up into 6 even-sized balls as well, then begin wrapping the pork balls with the pancake mix.
  • Once all 6 pork buns are wrapped, place them on a cooking sheet, then into a steamer.
  • If you do not have a steamer, add water in a frying pan, place the buns on a heat-safe plate that fit in the frying pan, then cover.
  • The buns are finished once they are fluffy.
