Step 1
Brown ground pork in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in minced ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar.
Step 3
Remove from heat and fold in chopped scallions, then let the filling cool for 1 minute.
Step 4
Spoon 1 tbsp filling into the center of each wrapper, then draw the edges up and pinch to seal at the top.
Step 5
Fill a steamer pot with 1 cup water and bring to a boil, then arrange baozi seam-side up on a parchment-lined steamer basket.
Step 6
Steam for 8 minutes until the wrapper surface turns slightly translucent and feels dry to the touch.
