Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Activate the yeast in warm water in a separate bowl.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and oil in a mixing bowl; mix well.

Gradually add water to form a dough; knead until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rest for 40 minutes to rise.

While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing pork, finely chopped cabbage, shallot, leeks, egg whites, baking soda, salt, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, tapioca starch, water, and sesame oil.

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces; shape each piece into a ball.

Roll each ball into a circle, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and fold over to seal.

Arrange the buns on parchment paper and let them rest for a short time before steaming them.

Steam the buns for 15 minutes until fluffy.
