Number Of Ingredients 11

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.
