To make Sesame Chicken Steamed Buns, you will need the following ingredients:

For the chicken filling:

- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts

For the steamed buns:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
To make the chicken filling, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the scallions, cilantro, and peanuts.
To make the steamed buns, mix together the flour, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Add the warm water and vegetable oil and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin into a circle about 3 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside.
Place the buns on a greased steamer basket and let rise for 10-15 minutes. Steam the buns over boiling water for 10-12 minutes, until puffed and cooked through.
Sesame Chicken Steamed Buns are a delicious and filling dish that combines the flavors of savory chicken, sweet hoisin sauce, and nutty sesame seeds.
