Step 1
In a bowl, mix the 0.5 lb ground pork, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 finely chopped green onions until well combined.
Step 2
Place 1 tbsp of the filling in the center of each of the 12 wrappers. Moisten the edges with water, fold, and pleat to seal into buns.
Step 3
Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the buns seam-side down and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Carefully pour the 0.5 cup water into the skillet, cover immediately, and steam until the water evaporates and the buns are cooked through, about 8 minutes. The tops should look slightly translucent and the filling should be firm.
Step 5
Uncover and cook for 1 more minute to re-crisp the bottoms. Serve hot.
