      Also did a BBQ spicy pulled beef batch recently. A few pork allergies so went with beef. That one was pot roast done slow and low in a crock pot for 12 hours, with beef and vegetable stock and a pinch of garlic salt. Then shred the beef, let it cool, mix into a homemade BBQ sauce and let it marinate in fridge over night. Dice up some green onions and mix into the beef before putting into the dough.

    You can fold them into semi-circles and steam them without any fillings and use them like slider buns. I like to fill them with pieces of fried chicken, Asian sauce (ketchup, mayo, hot sauce, light soy sauce, minced garlic, honey and a bit of sesame oil) and pickled onions. The combo of the heavenly soft and succulent bao and crispy Korean fried chicken with the sauce and pickled veggies is just surreal.

    1/3 cup cornstarch
    1 bunch of green onions, white part, minced (set aside the long green part for later)
    Add the chicken and white onion part of the green onions to your slow cooker, sprinkle in the sugar and spice, pour in the liquids. Cook on high or low, whichever you prefer, until the chicken is pull-apart tender. Remove and shred the chicken, chop lightly to ensure small pieces.
    Transfer liquids to a saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch. Turn heat on to medium-low and cook until thick and glossy. Add more sugar to taste (I doubt you'll need any). Add shredded chicken and allow to cool. Mince green part of green onions and stir into cooled chicken mixture.
    Make bao!
    Any leftover filling is amazing over rice or as filling for Japanese style onigiri :)

    I wish I could afford a bamboo steamer basket. It would make my life so much easier. But alas, I cannot. So I must continue precariously balancing my metal collander upside-down, inside my wok, with a precariously placed plate on top of that, and a towel precariously placed between the wok and the lid so the steam doesn't escape too much, but also so the lid doesn't touch the top of the bao. Total fire hazard, but tastes so good!!

It's an aspirated dentalized laminal alveolar which means it is articulated with a strong burst of breath and with the tongue blade very close to the upper front teeth, with the tongue tip resting behind lower front teeth. The hissing effect in this variety of [s] is very strong. The English _ch_ , on the other hand, is a voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant affricate or voiceless domed postalveolar sibilant affricate. Its place of articulation is palato-alveolar, that is, domed (partially palatalized) postalveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the front of the tongue bunched up ("domed") at the palate.
