Think you can't make Chinese food? Think again! This will make you look like a pro and tastes even better than take out. The flank steak is so tender it almost melts in your mouth. Make sure to prep everything first because the cooking happens in just minutes. The nutrition facts are off since the oil is used for flash frying and will be drained. From the Yang Sing restaurant in San Francisco.

I've done a few variations since first making these.... cheeseburger, BBQ chicken, pizza, ham & cheese, taco and I even did a spaghetti one. (Ever since I was a kid, I've taken bread, piled my spaghetti on it & folded it in half to make a sandwich!) MAKE-AHEAD TIP: Prepare and cook buns as directed. Cool for 30 minutes; wrap...

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 Tbsp cooking oil
2 c shredded cooked beef or pork
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
2 Tbsp grated ginger root
1 c chopped bok choy, napa, or green cabbage
1 tsp finely shredded orange peel
1/3 c thinly bias-sliced green onions
1/4 c hoisin sauce
1 pkg (16 oz) hot roll mix
1 large egg, beaten
sesame seed

Steps:

1. For filling, in a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add beef and red pepper; cook for 3 minutes. Add bok choy or other cabbage, ginger root, and orange peel; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bok choy is wilted. Stir in onions and hoisin sauce; remove from heat. Cool.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the hot roll mix according to package directions. Divide the dough into 24 portions. Roll each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface roll or pat each ball into a 3 ½ inch circle.
3. For each bun, place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in center of a circle. Moisten edges of dough with water and bring up around filling, pinching the edges together to seal.
4. Arrange the filled buns, seam sides down, on 2 lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake in a 375°F. oven about 15 minutes or until golden.
