Mix warm water with sugar to dissolve. Add yeast and let stand for 10
minutes. Mixture should get foamy or the yeast is dead. Mix in lard.

In a food processor, add flour and yeast mixture. While blade is spinning,
pour in water until a ball forms. If dough is too sticky, add more flour.
If dough appears dry and doesn't form a ball, add more water.

As soon as a ball forms, take dough out and knead by hand on a floured
surface. Roll dough into one long log about 2 inches thick. Cut into 2inch
pieces.

For the Filling: In a saute pan coated with oil, saute garlic and ginger.
Add shiitakes and cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Let mixture
cool.

In a bowl, mix shiitakes, chicken, chives and truffle oil. Season with salt
and pepper. Keep filling chilled before stuffing buns.

Form thick circles and place stuffing in the middle. Encircle stuffing with
the dough, but do not seal. Let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. In a
steamer basket, steam buns for 10 to 12 minutes.
