The combination of the sweet and smoky BBQ sauce with the tender jackfruit creates a mouthwatering taste that you won't be able to resist.
To make these BBQ Jackfruit Steamed Buns, you will need the following ingredients:

For the dough:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the filling:

- 1 can jackfruit, drained and shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
To make the dough, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add the warm water and vegetable oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
To make the filling, heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they become soft. Add the shredded jackfruit and BBQ sauce, and stir until the jackfruit is coated in the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the jackfruit is tender and the sauce has thickened.
To assemble the buns, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, and then flatten it into a disc. Spoon a tablespoon of the filling into the center of each disc, and then pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside. Place the buns on a piece of parchment paper, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
To steam the buns, fill a steamer basket with water and bring it to a boil. Place the buns in the steamer basket, making sure to leave enough space between them so they don't stick together. Steam the buns for 10-12 minutes, until they become puffy and cooked through.
These BBQ Jackfruit Steamed Buns are a perfect appetizer or snack that will impress your guests with their unique flavor and texture. The soft and fluffy dough pairs perfectly with the tender and flavorful jackfruit filling, creating a dish that is both satisfying and delicious. Try making these buns for your next party or gathering, and watch as they disappear in no time!
