How to make barbecue pork buns:
Step 1:

Step 2:
- Finely chop the pork belly (or use pre-ground pork) then add seasonings (2 tablespoons of char siu sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce) and mix well.
- To check if the filling is ready, take a small amount and microwave it until cooked, then taste test!
Step 3:
- Add the onion and carrot to the bowl with the meat and mix well.
Step 4:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the flour into a bowl, make a well in the center, pour in the yeast water, knead until smooth and uniform - Then place the dough in a draft-free place, cover it, and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Step 5:
- After the dough has rested, divide it into small portions, roll each portion thinly on the outside and slightly thicker in the center.
- Spoon the meat filling into the dough. Brush a little cold water around the edge of the dough to help it stick, then press and twist the dough to form a round bun, leaving a finger at the opening to create a mouth-shaped bun. If you prefer, you can also seal the bun completely!

Step 6:
