Mix warm water and sugar in a bowl, then sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, then knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

In a separate bowl, mix ground pork, ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, cabbage, and carrot until well combined.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces.

Flatten each piece into a circle, then place a spoonful of filling in the center.

Gather the edges of the dough and pinch to seal the bun tightly.

Place the buns on parchment paper squares and let them rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare a steamer and bring water to a boil.

Steam the buns in batches for 15-20 minutes until fluffy and cooked through.

Serve warm with dipping sauce.
