Pork Buns!!




Over the weekend i decided to try my hand at pork buns. I knew the first time would be a learning experience... and it was. Fortunately they were edible, but had many flaws. I used yeast in the dough and between the three recipes i had each one suggested a different time to let them rise. So me being as a.d.d. as I am chose the shortest. Needless to say, fluffy wouldn't be a way i would describe them. They were tasty don't get me wrong but till will be a while till i conquer them. I topped them with korean red pepper flakes and black vinegar. This was also the first time i used the steamer, besides reheating things in it. Wow... steam is hot. I tested the inside at full boil it was 200 degrees, plus. The inside of the pork was around 180 degrees. Die pork bacteria stuff!! And as usual i set up to shoot what i made. Time consuming but good, they would be really fun to make when the weather is cold with a dinner party of close mates! If anyone ever wants a recipe drop me a line and i'll do my best to get out to you.
