Mix warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl and let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, white pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Add one egg to the pork mixture and mix thoroughly.

Add one tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the pork mixture and mix well again.

Cover the pork mixture and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

After the yeast mixture has rested for 1 hour, knead the dough until smooth.

Roll the dough into small balls and flatten each into a circle.

Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle.

Gather the edges of the dough and pinch to seal the filling inside, forming a bun.

Prepare a plate with oil and place the buns on it.

Add cooking oil to a skillet and heat it up.

Place the buns seam-side down in the skillet and fry until golden brown.

Add one cup of warm water to the skillet and cover it.

Cook on medium flame, ensuring it doesn't burn, for about 3 minutes.

If the buns are not sticking to your hand when touched, they are cooked through.
