Soak onion flakes in a cup with just enough water to cover flakes. Mix sauce in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat until sauce thickens. Stir in diced pork and onion flakes. Chill for 3 to 4 hours.
[The chilling is necessary to make the filling easy to handle. S.C.] Fill buns as directed above and steam or bake.
