Ingredients:

For the duck filling:

- 2 duck breasts
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons plum sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste

For the steamed buns:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, plum sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the duck breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the duck breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cool and shred the meat.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and yeast. Add the warm water and vegetable oil and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. 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 about 3 inches in diameter.
5. Place a spoonful of the shredded duck meat in the center of each circle. Gather the edges of the circle and pinch them together to seal the bun.
6. Place the buns on a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
7. Steam the buns for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and cooked through.
