Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and knead until you form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

4. In a bowl, mix the ground pork, chopped mushrooms, cabbage, grated carrot, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions until well combined.

6. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the bun.
7. Place the buns on a piece of parchment paper and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
