1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
3 - 3 1/2 cups flour

2 tablespoons oil
1 1/4 cups milk
1/3 cup water
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 egg

Directions

1

Plunge your cabbage into a quart of boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and squeeze any water out with your hands.

3

Combine 3 sups flour with salt, sugar, oil, milk and yeast. Knead until a soft dough forms. You will need some or all of the water. Drop the dough into an oiled bowl and cover. Leave in a warm spot to double in size.
4

Knead the dough and smash out all the air bubbles. Cut dough into 48 equal pieces.
5

Take each dough chunk and flatten into a disc in your hands. You may need extra flour if the dough is sticking to your hands. Place 1/2 tablespoon of filling into each disc and pull dough around filling and pinch to seal shut. Place buns seam side down on a baking sheet.
6

Beat the egg with water and brush on the tops of your buns.
7

Begin heating your oven to 350 degrees. You want the buns to sit for a few minutes before baking. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

You can either eat these buns, or cool them down and freeze them. They reheat nicely in a warm oven.
