Mix almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together water, olive oil, and eggs until combined.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Add sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder to the dough and knead until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes to hydrate the flours.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Flatten each ball into a disc and place your desired filling in the center.

Fold the edges of the disc over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a bun.

Place the buns on parchment paper squares in a steamer basket.

Steam the buns over boiling water for 15-20 minutes until fluffy and cooked through.

Remove the buns from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
