It sounds like you want to share a BBQ bao bun recipe featuring spam. BBQ bao buns are a delicious treat, and adding spam can add a savory and salty element to them. Here’s a simple recipe for BBQ spam bao buns:
Ingredients:
For the Bao Buns:
- 1 pound (about 3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Pinch of salt
For the BBQ Spam Filling:
- 1 can of Spam, sliced into thin pieces
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
Instructions:
For the Bao Buns:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and add a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into small, equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Flatten each dough ball into a circle with a rolling pin, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Brush the tops with a little vegetable oil.
- Fold each circle in half, creating a semi-circle shape. Place each folded bun on a small piece of parchment paper.
- Steam the buns in a steamer for 12-15 minutes, or until they puff up and become soft and fluffy.
For the BBQ Spam Filling:
- While the bao buns are steaming, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced Spam and cook until it’s lightly browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Pour the BBQ sauce over the Spam and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the Spam to soak up some of the sauce.
Assembly:
- Once the bao buns are steamed, carefully open them up (be cautious of steam) and spread a little extra BBQ sauce inside each one.
- Place a slice of BBQ Spam inside each bun.
- Top with sliced green onions, shredded cabbage, and sliced cucumber for added crunch and freshness.
- Serve your BBQ spam bao buns hot and enjoy!
