To make Chinese Barbecue Pork 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 lb Chinese barbecue pork, diced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
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 is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
To make the filling, combine the diced barbecue pork, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball with your palm and use a rolling pin to roll it into a circle. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle and gather the edges of the dough together to seal the bun.
Place the buns on a piece of parchment paper and let them rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and place a steamer basket on top. Place the buns in the steamer basket, making sure to leave some space between them. Cover the steamer basket and steam the buns for 15-20 minutes, until they are puffy and cooked through.
