How to Make It

1. Step
Fill a wide, high-sided skillet with 2 inches (5 cm) of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper and cut slits in it to allow steam to escape.
2. Step
Meanwhile, gently roll out the biscuits into 3-inch (7.62 cm) rounds. If desired, use a cutter or glass to cut out uniform circles, discarding the scraps. Spray the biscuits with nonstick spray and fold in half.
3. Step
Set the steamer basket over the boiling water. Add the biscuits to the basket, spacing evenly. Cover and steam for 5–7 minutes, until cooked through and puffed.
4. Step
Gently transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool slightly.
5. Step
Fill each bun with pickled vegetables, a slice of pork belly, cilantro, and mint.
6. Step
Enjoy!
