pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground pork is often less expensive and still flavorful.

hoisin sauce

🥗Healthier: miso paste + honey

💰Cheaper: soy sauce + sugar

Miso and honey provide a similar sweet-savory flavor.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

Warm 1.5 cups of milk.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce.

Stir the mixture together until well combined.

After mixing, let the mixture sit for a while to activate the yeast.

Steam the buns after preparing them, or deep fry them after steaming if desired.
