NOTE: these buns are cooked in bamboo steamers which are available in Chinese and specialty gourmet cookware stores. The round steamers can be pruchased in various sizes separately or in sets of two of three tiers. For cooking, the covered steamer(s) is (are) placed over boiling water in a wok or large saucepan. The above is quoted directly from a section connected to the recipe. This is my own note. I do not like the flavor that a bamboo steamer imparts to recipes; therefore, I bought an aluminum Chinese steamer. 1. Combine hoi sin sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Chop
pork and onions finely. 2. Heat vegetable oil in wok or fry pan over high heat. Stir-fry ginger
