How to choose delicious and safe pork
- You can buy pre-ground pork at the market and then cook it, but it will be difficult to check the quality of the meat. It is best to buy whole pieces of pork and grind it yourself using a meat grinder to ensure safety and quality when using.
- Fresh pork will have high elasticity and firmness. You can press on the meat with your hand to check; if it does not leave a dent and does not stick to your hand, then it is good meat. Conversely, pieces of spoiled meat will not return to their normal state immediately when pressed.
- Good meat will have a bright red or dark red color, shiny, with a dry outer membrane.
- If you see the meat showing gray, brown, dark red, or light green colors, or slimy, do not buy it. Because these are signs that the meat has spoiled.
- In addition, pork raised with lean additives will have a darker color, with red spots on the skin and a fishy smell compared to clean pork.

How to make Cheese BBQ Pork Buns
-
Prepare the filling
Add 300g of diced pork belly and 70g of BBQ pork sauce into a pan, then mix well to let the meat absorb the sauce. After that, place the pan on the stove and stir-fry over medium heat until the meat is just cooked, then turn off the heat.
Next, add 2 teaspoons of annatto oil, mix again to make the meat tender, have a nice color, and not dry.

Mix the dough for Cheese BBQ Pork Buns
Add to the mixer: 600g of flour, 70g of cornstarch, 50g of sugar, 3g of salt, 6g of instant yeast, 10g of baking powder, 250ml of water, and 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk. Use the mixer to mix the dough at low speed for about 10 minutes (here, the user uses a Bear 5l mixer that has only one setting, so just press the button to adjust the time).
Next, add 40g of lard and continue mixing for an additional 25 – 30 minutes until the dough is smooth and not sticky to the hands. After that, roll the dough into a ball, cover it tightly, and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes until it doubles in size.
After 60 minutes, dust the dough ball with a little dry flour and use your hands to knead it gently for about 5 minutes to release all the air bubbles. Divide the dough into several equal small pieces and roll them into balls.
Next, use a rolling pin to roll out each dough ball, add a little meat filling along with about 10g of cheese, and pinch the edges of the dough tightly to complete. Do the same with the remaining ingredients.
Finally, cover the buns with a thin cloth and let them rise for the second time for an additional 30 – 45 minutes.
-
Steam the buns
Arrange the buns in the steamer, place the steamer over a pot of boiling water, cover tightly and steam for 10 – 15 minutes over medium heat. When the buns are done, turn off the heat and let them sit for another 5 minutes before opening the lid to avoid thermal shock to the buns.
