Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Mix the sugar into the bread flour, then add water according to the package instructions. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

  2. 2

    Cook the bacon in a skillet for 5 minutes until crispy. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the soy sauce, honey, and tomato paste. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 12 portions, flatten each, and fill with a spoonful of the stuffing. Pinch the edges to close like a pouch. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Brush with the beaten egg and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with a dipping sauce.

💡 Chef's Tip

The filling can be prepared 3 days in advance. The buns can be frozen after the second rise for up to 1 month, or made the day before and reheated.
