Mix warm milk, warm water, and sugar in a bowl until dissolved.

Sprinkle instant yeast over the mixture and let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

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

Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 10 minutes.

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

Prepare the stuffing by cooking boneless chicken pieces and mixing with paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, Sriracha or chili sauce, and sliced onions.

Punch down the risen dough and divide into equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a circle and place a spoonful of stuffing in the center.

Fold the dough over the stuffing and pinch to seal tightly.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the stuffed buns until golden brown.

Serve warm, garnished with spring onions.
