300 gm. Hong Kong flour or Pao flour
50 gm. Tang mien flour
2 tsp. Instant Yeast

350 gm. roasted pork or chicken
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. Oyster sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. dark soya sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
5 sliced shallots
2 chopped garlic
2 Tbsp. Tapioca flour + 3 Tbsp. Water (mix together)

Method:

(1) Beat all the skin ingredients together in a mixer till it's not sticky. At this stage the skin will be very soft. Leave to proof for 45 mins.
(2) Fillings: Fry shallots and garlic till fragrant then add in all the sauce and then thicken with tapioca water. Off the heat and stir in the diced roasted pork.
(3) Divide the doug into small balls of 40 gm.
