Step 1
Brown ground pork in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and green onion. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then transfer to a plate to cool.
Step 3
Place each bun dough piece on a parchment square. Spoon 1 tbsp of cooled pork filling into the center of each bun.
Step 4
Gently fold the dough around the filling and pinch to seal, creating a round bun. Place seam-side down on its parchment square.
Step 5
Bring water to a boil in a steamer pot. Arrange buns on steamer racks, parchment intact, without overlapping.
Step 6
Steam over boiling water for 6 minutes until buns are puffed and glossy. Serve immediately.
