Spicy sriracha chicken sloppy joes

To make the steamed buns

1. Place the sugar and water in a large mixing bowl and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Stir in the yeast, then set aside for 15 minutes. Add the flour to the yeast mixture and stir using a fork until the mixture comes together. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead for 10 minutes to form a smooth dough.
3. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with clingwrap and allow to rest for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size. 
4. Knock down the dough, then roll into a fat sausage and cut into equal portions.
5. Cut out 6 large squares of baking paper slightly larger than each portion of dough, then spray the baking paper lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Place each portion of dough onto a piece of baking paper, then place on a baking tray and set aside to rise for 45 minutes in a warm area.
7. Place a bamboo steamer over a saucepan of simmering water, then steam the buns for 7 minutes.
8. Carefully remove from the steamer, remove the baking paper and place the buns on a serving dish.
