Step 1
Stir ground pork with soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and scallion until combined.
Step 2
Spoon 1 tbsp filling onto each wrapper, wet edges with water, fold in half, then pinch corners to seal.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 4
Add buns flat-side down. Don't move them—let the bottoms crisp, 3 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 5
Add 1/4 cup water, cover immediately, and steam until wrappers turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 6
Uncover and cook until water evaporates and bottoms re-crisp, about 1 minute more.
