Marinate the pork with salt, sugar, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground ginger, star anise powder, and Szechuan peppercorn oil for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Heat oil in a pan, then fry the chopped scallion until it turns golden brown and fragrant.
Step 5
Add the marinated pork to the pan with the scallion, stir-fry until well mixed. Let it cool, then add the eggs and mix well to bind the meat filling together.
Step 6
Clean and chop the leeks, then mix them with a bit of sesame oil and cool rapeseed oil to keep the color vibrant for the steamed buns.
Step 7
Cut the leeks finely and mix in some sesame oil and boiled, cooled rapeseed oil to enhance the color of the leeks in the buns.
Step 8
Mix the cooled pork filling with the chopped leeks.
