MainRecipesAppetizer | Carnitas Steamed Buns

   Carnitas Steamed Buns submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
Similar to Asian steamed buns but with Mexican flavor! Double the dough recipe to make about 20 buns.

Directions
Mix first 5 ingredients together and rub onto pork roast. Chop onion and slice jalapeņos and place in the bottom of a crockpot. Put roast on top of vegetables. Mix juices and garlic cloves; pour over top of roast. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Shred pork with 2 forks and save the juice for dipping.

Mix sugar, yeast and warm water in a small bowl and proof for 5 minutes or until foamy. Add flour, salt and baking powder and mix till "shaggy". Let rise for about 1 hour in a warm place. Punch dough down, let rest for 5 minutes then cut into 8-10 pieces. Put about 2 T. shredded pork into one piece of dough, pinching edges together to form a ball-shape. Fill remaining pieces in the same manner. Steam buns for about 15 minutes. Serve warm buns with remaining meat juice and fresh guacamole.

Makes about 20 buns.
