Easy Chinese Pork Buns

The main credit is to Kirbiecravings' 5 minute homemade Chinese buns.  I was craving the Chinese pork buns, but didn't have a bamboo steamer and didn't feel like buying one.  Found this recipe and it was awesome.  I forgot the sliced green onions, which would have added some good crunch. 

Pork recipe taken from Myrecipes.com

Recipe good for 2 nights or 4 servings.  Also served with green beans.

Ingredients for pork:

-2 Tbsp rice vinegar

-1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Directions for pork:

1. Rub five spice powder evenly over pork.  

2. Cook per directions on package of pork

---Place on roasting pan

---Cook for 22 min at 425 F

---Check internal temp goal 145?

4. Cut pork crosswise into thin slices and then cut slices into thin strips

5. Add rest of ingredients (hoisin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, salt) to pork

6. Cover and refrigerate

7. Divide into 2 servings and microwave when ready

8. Add green onions on top

Ingredients for 4 buns

-1 cup all-purpose flour

-1 tsp baking powder 

-1/4 cup evaporated milk (condensed milk too thick and sweet)

-3/4 cup skim milk

Directions for buns:

1. Whisk all ingredients into a small bowl until batter smooth

2. Line 4 small plates with parchment paper

3. Pour batter onto plates = about 95 g of batter per plate

4. Microwave for 1 minute

*NOTE: If using condensed milk, can use 1/8 cup (half of a 1/4 cup) and fill the rest with water or milk, just to thin it out more.  Not sure which to use as evaporated milk has "chemicals" and condensed milk just has sugar and milk
