Sift flour, cake flour, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Add shortening, yeast mixture and mil,.

Knead mixture 5 minutes to form a dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set
dough in a warm place. Allow the dough to rise for 3 hours.

Heat wok, add oil and stir-fry pork for 2 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce and hoisin
sauce. Bring it to a boil.

Prepare thickening by mixing the cornstarch and 4 tablespoons cold water.
Stir into the mixture and cook for 1 minute. Let cool before using.

After 3 hours, when the dough has risen, shape into rolls about 2 inches in
diameter. Cut each roll into 1-1/2 inch pieces.

Shape each piece into a shallow bowl shape.

bun. Put the bun on a 2 inch square of white paper. (This prevents the bun
from becoming soggy while steaming.) Place 8 buns in a pie pan and allow
them to set and rest for 15 minutes in a warm place.
