Ingredients

For the dough:

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

For the filling:

1 cup diced BBQ Pork (Char Siu)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the instant yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
