Barbecue With Bun Recipes

Steps:

• Pour water into a bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes. Add vegetable oil, sugar, and self-rising flour. Mix using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto your counter and knead into a smooth ball, about 10 minutes. Transfer dough ball into a lightly oiled bowl. Flip to lightly coat. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Combine pork, green onions, cayenne pepper, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce in a separate bowl. Mix well and refrigerate.
• Add a couple inches of water to a Dutch oven and set a bamboo steamer on top.
• Poke dough down to deflate and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Cut dough in half and roll each half into a long tube. Divide each tube into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and press into a disk. Roll each disk until about 1/8-inch thick and 4 to 5 inches wide. Roll out edges so they are slightly thinner than the center.
• Transfer a spoonful of filling onto the center of each dough circle. Pinch edges together to form multiple small pleats, moistening edges with water if needed. Squeeze pleats together at the top to seal in the filling. Place pork buns on individual squares of parchment paper. Transfer them to the cold steamer, cover, and let proof until noticeably puffed, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Bring the water in the Dutch oven to a boil over high heat. Set timer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave buns covered for 15 minutes. Uncover and transfer to plate.

Steps:

• Place beef, onion and celery in a Dutch oven; add water to almost cover meat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat; strain and reserve cooking liquid. Trim and shred meat; return to Dutch oven. Add 2 cups of strained cooking liquid (save remaining cooking liquid) and chill. Skim and discard fat. Add ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If mixture becomes too thick, add additional reserved cooking liquid. Serve on hamburger buns.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas. Mix the sugar into the bread mix in a large bowl, then add water as instructed on the pack. Bring the dough together with a wooden spoon, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 mins until smooth. Put into a large bowl, cover with oiled cling film then leave in a warm place until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan, then fry the bacon until crisp, about 5 mins. Add the ginger and garlic and fry for 1 min until soft, then tip in the soy, honey and tomato purée and stir well. Can be made up to 3 days ahead.
• Turn out the dough and knead briefly, then pull into 12 even-sized balls. Flatten with your hands, then put a teaspoon-size blob of the filling in the middle. Draw the dough up and pinch it closed like a purse, then turn the bun over and sit it on a large baking sheet. Cover with oiled cling film and leave to rise for about 30 mins until the dough feels pillowy. Brush with egg and bake for 20 mins until golden. Serve warm with dipping sauce. Can be frozen after second rise for up to 1 month or baked up to a day ahead and re-warmed.

Steps:

• Place the chuck roast in a very large pot and cover with water. The water level must be at least 2 inches above the top surface of the roast. If you don't have a large enough pan a large soup pot will work, but the water level fills the pan over three-fourths full, and you will have lots of splatters on your stovetop (to alleviate this problem, cover your entire stovetop, except for the heating element you have your pan sitting on, with aluminum foil). It's imperative that you always keep the water level at least 2 inches above the roast. If you use a soup pot, add more water about every 30 minutes! When I cook the roast I USE A LID to partially cover the pot.
• Bring the water to a boil, and cook for about 3 hours until the meat is tender. (I keep the heat a little lower than medium-high, which is a fairly strong boil. Recently I cooked a chuck roast weighing 4.16 pounds and it took 3 hour and 15 minutes, I'm sure the cooking time will vary according to the weight of the meat and how hard the meat boils).
• Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce. BARBECUE SAUCE INSTRUCTIONS: Into a LARGE saucepan thoroughly combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, chili powder, vinegar, sugar, and onion. Cover and refrigerate for later use. Don't use a medium saucepan because the sauce gets so hot that it can pop out of the pan and can burn your hand.
• When the roast is done, remove it from the water with a sharp meat fork and place it on a platter to cool slightly.
• When the roast is cool enough to handle, shred the meat by hand (I shred the beef with a dinner fork, and then pull the larger pieces of meat apart with my fingers).
• Remove the barbecue sauce from the refrigerator, and over high heat, stirring constantly, bring the sauce to a boil. Remove from heat and cool.
• Pour the sauce over the meat, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving in order for the sauce flavors to absorb into the meat.
• When ready to serve, reheat the meat on the stove, in the microwave, or in an electric slow cooker.
• Serve on buns.
• Note: I freeze any meat that I don't use up within 3 to 4 days. I use fold-top plastic sandwich bags, placing 1/2 cup barbecue beef in each bag. I then, place all the little bags within a large freezer bag and place them in the freezer. One 4.16 pound beef chuck roast will give you approximately 15 servings (1/2 cup each).

• Cool slightly.
• You should be able to hold your finger in water mixture and it should be almost hot.
• Process flour and yeast in food processor for 2 seconds until just combined.
• With motor running, gradually add liquid through food chute until dough comes together and forms ball.
• Process for 30 seconds.
• Turn dough out onto floured surface; knead for 2 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
• Place in large greased bowl, turning once to grease top.

• Let stand in oven with light on and door closed for about 1 hour until doubled in bulk.

• Cut crosswise into 12 portions.
• Roll or flatten each portion into 4 inch circle.
• Spoon rounded tablespoon of filling onto centre.
• Gather edges together over filling, twisting in clockwise direction to form"top knot".
• Place each bun, smooth side down, on waxed paper cut into squares about 2 1/2 inches in size.
• Cover with tea towel; let stand for about 1 hour until slightly risen.
• Set buns with waxed paper, about 1 1/2 inches apart in large bamboo steamer or on rack over rapidly boiling water in wok or Dutch oven; cover.
• Steam for 15 minutes.
• This may have to be done in batches.
