Recipe by whattocooktoday
Ingredients:
- 1 Basic steamed buns recipe
Filling:
- 400 gr Chinese bbq pork – about 1 lb, diced into small pieces
- 1 small onion – peeled and finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp red yeast rice powder – optional, for the red color
Seasonings for filling:
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions:
Making the filling (can be made ahead):
- Mix all the ingredients for the sauce, except for the flour, for cooking the filling in the bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat your wok or skillet over high heat. Add in the oil.
- Add onions and saute until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add the BBQ pork and pour in the sauce and red yeast rice powder (if using) and stir to mix. Sprinkle in the flour.
- The pork mixture will start to thicken and glue together.
- Have a taste and add more sugar if needed. It should be more sweet than savory.
