Chinese steamed buns are a popular street food in China and can be found at many dim sum restaurants. These steamed buns can be filled with a variety of different meats, vegetables, or sweet fillings. The texture of the bun is similar to bread, but with a slightly different, more dense consistency. The BBQ pork filling is sweet and smoky, and combines well with the slightly sweet taste of the steamed buns. This recipe can be a great introduction to Chinese cuisine for those who have never tried it before.

Instructions

1.	In a pot, add 2 cups of water and bring to boil.
2.	Cut the pork into slices.
3.	Mix the barbecue sauce, shallots, chicken broth, dark soy sauce, vegetable oil and white sugar in a bowl.
4.	In a frying pan, add the sauce mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add the pork to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink. Make sure to stir occasionally.
5.	After the pork is cooked, let it cool and cut it into small pieces.
6.	Take the Chinese Steamed Buns, fold the edges in half and then place the pieces of the pork inside. Fold the edges of the Chinese Steamed Buns over the pieces of pork, and gently press on the top to seal it.
7.	Place the Chinese Steamed Buns in a steamer basket and cover it with a lid. Steam for 15 minutes or until the dough is cooked.
