Steamed Pork Buns with Dipping Sauce

We had a roast pork in our wood oven on the weekend and had a lot of left over pork meat.

So tonight we had steamed pork buns. I love using left overs to make a completely different meal! Yum!

I do this in my Thermomix but you could easily adjust if you don't have one.
