Step 1
Pour boiling water over flour in a bowl, stir with chopsticks until shaggy dough forms, then knead until smooth.
Step 2
While dough rests, brown ground pork in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, ~5 min.
Step 3
Stir in ginger and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add soy sauce, scallion, and sesame oil.
Step 4
Divide dough into 8 pieces, roll each into a thin disc, and spoon filling into the center of each.
Step 5
Fold disc edges over filling and pinch to seal, then place seam-side down in parchment-lined bamboo or metal steamer.
Step 6
Steam over simmering water for 8 minutes until buns are puffy and cooked through.
