To make these Sweet and Sour Chicken Steamed Buns, you will need the following ingredients:

For the chicken filling:

- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

For the steamed buns:

- 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
To make the chicken filling, start by coating the chicken pieces in cornstarch. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and crispy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add the sauce to the skillet with the chicken and stir until the chicken is coated in the sauce. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
To make the steamed buns, combine the flour, warm water, sugar, yeast, salt, and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise for about an hour. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll them out into circles. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle and pinch the edges together to seal the bun.
Place the buns in a steamer basket and steam for about 10-12 minutes until they are puffy and cooked through. Serve the Sweet and Sour Chicken Steamed Buns hot and enjoy!
