I love the steamed pork buns served at a certain famous restaurant, and I tried to recreate them several times. But they'd come out too wet because of too much liquid in the filling, or the dough would be too dry. Finally, I was finally able to make a version I was happy with. Here's the secret to successful steamed pork buns!It takes some time to make these, but it's important to let the dough rest properly to make it soft and fluffy. For 10 buns. Recipe by HIROMIKOSAN

I had two thirds of a shoulder of pork leftover from my Ginger Beer Pulled Pork recipe, and really fancied putting on a rich brioche bun, with pickles and BBQ sauce. I didn't have any BBQ sauce in the fridge, but I did have the ingredients to make one...

I knew steamed buns were delicious, but I didn't expect them to come out sooooo well!!! In Japan, we can buy "nikuman" at grocery stores or convenient stores. I was curious to know how to make homemade ones work well.... Is it difficult to cook? Is it yummy? Now I can tell you that homemade nikuman is well worth it to cook at home! *note* 1 cup=250ml

I have tried many recipes, but this is my proudest recipe that was a big hit.The skin has both baking powder and yeast in it which makes fluffy buns. Use a lot of onion and shaoxing wine to enhance the flavor. 　You can use yeast only to make Xiaolongbao. Recipe by Kuminchan

This is similar to Bún Mắm Nước Lèo, which uses a couple different types of fermented fishes to make the broth, as well as a variety of different toppings (roasted pork, stuffed peppers fish cakes, squid, ect.). This is shortened and made a bit more simple with less toppings. The broth is almost identical, using (air) fried snake head fish (cá lóc) as the main topping and local pre fried fish cake for quick light work. The bitter veggies and mix varieties of herbs and chives is what I love eating this soup the most. The funky salted savory sweet soup broth balances with the bitterness fresh veggies, along with the spicy chili and a squeeze of lime, just makes this bowl of noodle soup overwhelmingly flavorful. With sweet, savory, salty, bitterness, crunchy, fresh, funky, spicy, citrusy… just so much going on!

This is my favorite Asian bakery bread. The most common assembly is to top the bread with the meat floss. Here I assemble it like a burger bun, as I find it easier to eat without risking some falling-off when biting into it. Plus I can fill each with as much meat floss as I want. Yum!

Traditional bun rieu is very time consuming. Getting bun rieu at the restaurant pretty much guarantees that you will not be getting real crab. This quick version takes the work out of it but still maintains the authentic taste with real crab meat. It's not cheap to make, but the perfect treat- yourself-dinner for a cold night.

Today's school lunch was steamed pork buns!Since my child has food allergies, I try to recreate the same lunch meal prepared at school, so that he eats the same food as his classmates.Dust your hands with rice flour (not listed) to form the buns. Since the dough isn't as elastic as wheat flour dough, you won't be able to make a fancy seam, but be sure to tightly secure the edges.It's easy if you use a spoon to place the filling on the dough.The rising time depends on the season, so be sure to keep your eye on them.

You can fill Chinese buns with any filling you like. I made carrot buns this time. They were delicious.Be sure to let the buns rise (2nd rising) until they've doubled in bulk. Let the buns rest in the steamer with the lid on after they're done cooking - don't take the lid off right away! For 12 buns. Recipe by Masako Bishoku
