Steps:
- Make the dough: In a small pot over low heat, whisk together cornstarch and water. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add in honey and ¼ cup milk and whisk until incorporated. Let mixture cool to a lukewarm temperature, then whisk in yeast. Heat remaining ½ cup milk until simmering. In a large mixing bowl using chopsticks or a fork, combine flour, salt, and hot milk until a very shaggy mixture forms. Stir in cornstarch-yeast mixture, and work dough with your hands until cohesive and no dry spots remain, about 5 minutes. Cover bowl and let dough stand for 30 minutes. Gently deflate dough and gently pick up one edge of the dough and pull lightly to fold it toward the opposite edge. Repeat this stretch and fold motion around the bowl, about 4 folds total, then flip dough upside down so that the smooth side is facing up. Let rest another 30 minutes. Repeat stretch and fold two more times, resting about 30 minutes after each fold. Meanwhile, make your filling of choice. Optionally, make the savory dipping sauce: Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. When ready to assemble buns, cut dough into 12 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll each dough into a 6” round on a lightly floured surface, rotating the dough frequently and taking care to roll edges out thinner than the center of the dough. Place a portioned meatball or 2 tablespoons of filling in the middle of the round, then pleat edges together. Using your thumb, middle, and index finger of your dominant hand to hold all the pleats in one spot while the other hand "feeds" the dough into the fold: gather and pinch together ¾” of dough, repeating this motion all around the edge of the round, between 12 and 15 pleats total. Gently twist counter clockwise to create a swirl pattern with your pleats, then pinch to firmly seal the pleats together.
Fill a large pot with 2 cups of cold water, then lay a steamer basket lined on top. Cut twelve 3" squares of parchment, then place buns on prepared parchment inside the steamer, spaced about 2” apart. Let rise, uncovered, until the dough increases about 50% in size and springs back very slowly when poked, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cover the pot with a lid lined with a paper towel (to trap condensation), then turn heat to medium. Once water is up to a boil, reduce heat to low and steam buns for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand with lid on for 5 minutes more. Remove the lid and let buns cool until safe to touch. Serve with dipping sauce, if desired. In a large bowl, toss cabbage with salt until well combined. Let sit for 10 minutes. Add all remaining pork filling ingredients and stir mixture in one direction until a smooth paste forms. On a plate or tray lined with parchment, portion mixture into 12 meatballs and transfer to the freezer t0 chill for 30 minutes, until semi-firm. In a large bowl, stir all ingredients together until well-combined. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill while dough is resting. Rinse and drain soaked beans. In a medium pot over medium heat, combine beans with 2 cups water and salt and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and let cook until beans are tender and begin to split, about 30 minutes. Drain and reserve cooking liquid. Return pot with beans to medium-low heat. Add in sugar and enough cooking liquid to barely cover the beans (about ½ to ? cup) and let simmer until beans are completely creamy and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, mash beans until desired consistency is reached. Let cool completely before using.

Steps:
- Stir together sugar, warm water, yeast, and instant dry milk in bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer; let sit 3 minutes.
- Stir together salt, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 cup of the flour in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to yeast mixture, and beat on low with dough hook until incorporated. Stop mixer, and add 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat on low until incorporated. Gradually add melted butter, beating until incorporated. Increase speed to medium, and gradually add remaining 1 1/4 cups flour, beating until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface, and knead until dough is completely smooth and slightly tacky to the touch but not sticky, about 10 minutes. (Knead in more flour, if necessary.)
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place (80°F to 85°F), free from drafts, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough, and shape into 15 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Flatten balls into 3-inch-long logs. Place logs, 1/2 inch apart, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Steam buns, in batches, in a covered steamer basket over boiling water until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove basket, and cool, uncovered, 3 minutes. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days, or freeze up to 2 weeks.

KEN HOM'S FOOLPROOF STEAMED BUNS RECIPE

Combine the warm water and yeast and allow to sit in warm place for 2 minutes. The mixture should become slightly foamy. Add the sugar and the oil. Now combine the yeast mixture with the flour in a large bowl or alternatively, in a food processor, and mix until you have a smooth dough. Meanwhile, cut out 18 x 6cm (2½ in) squares of greaseproof paper.
Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it for a few minutes on a floured board. If it is still sticky, dust lightly with a few tablespoons of flour. Then form it into a roll about 45cm (18in) long and about 5cm (2in) wide. Take a sharp knife and cut the roll into equal segments. There should be about 18 pieces. Take a segment of dough and work it in the palm of your hand until it forms a smooth ball. Put the ball on a greaseproof paper square. Do the same with the rest of the pieces of dough, and put them, together with their paper bases, on heatproof plates. Cover the buns with a large sheet of baking parchment or greaseproof paper and then with a damp tea-towel, and let them rest for about 30 minutes in a warm place. After this period the buns should have doubled in size.
Next set up a steamer, or put a rack into a wok or deep pan, and fill it with 5cm (2in) of water. Bring the water to the boil over a high heat, then carefully lower the plate of buns into the steamer or on to the rack (you may need to do this in batches). Turn the heat to low and cover the wok or pan tightly. Steam over a high heat for 15 minutes.
The steamed buns are now ready to be served with Crispy Sichuan Duck (recipe on page 176 of Ken Hom's Complete Chinese Cookbook), Beijing (Peking) Duck (page 182) or Tea-smoked Duck (page 183). Alternatively you can let them cool, then pack them into a plastic bag and freeze them. Be sure to thaw them completely before reheating. The best way to reheat them is to cover them with clingfilm and warm them in a microwave oven.
