FILLING

Dough: In large bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water; blend in sugar, oil and salt. Let stand until bubbly (about 15 minutes). Add flour and mix until dough holds together. Place dough on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 mins). Turn dough over in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour). Filling: Heat 1 T oil in a wide frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 3 mins. Add bamboo shoots, cashews and green onions and cook for 2 mins. Combine soy sauce, sherry, sugar, water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour in pan, cook and stir until sauce bubbles and thickens. Stir in sesame oil remove from heat and cool. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 1 minute. Cut dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 4½ inch round. Press outside edge to make it slightly thinner than the rest of the round. Place about 2 T filling in center. Pull edges of dough up around filling and twist to seal. To steam: Place each, seam down, on a 2 inch square of foil and place on a cookie sheet. Cover and let rise until puffy and light (30 mins). Set with foil, in a single layer in a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam for 15 mins. Serve warm. Or let cool, wrap and refrig or freeze. To reheat steam buns about 5 - 10 mins. To bake: Place buns about 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise about 30 mins.
