Recipe Steamed bao buns

[vernplum]

I'm not sure what fiddly means. Kimchi is potent and very pungent smelling. I think it smells like ass but my husband loves it, lol.

It has got rather a sour smell. I don't know if I'll compare it to 'ass' but it definitely takes some getting used to!

My husband's cousin makes it. I was in the bedroom when he brought home a jar and opened it in the kitchen. Ewww!

You mean to make your own? Probably; it's rather messy, but you can just buy small packs of it in most supermarkets nowadays or it comes in small 500g tubs. I can see it online at Woolies.

I havnt seen it here but I will ask at my Asian store.

We can get store bought bao buns here.
Although my daughter makes her own from scratch.

I prefer water/summer kimchi and actually have some in refrigerator right now that I used as part of a banchan recently. We used to watch the show Kimchi Chronicles, hosted by Marja and Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. She was a Korean child adopted by American parents, IIRC, and decided to explore her Korean heritage. Saw she had a chicken sandwich recipe on her site.

See my post on water/summer kimchi. It's vegan, so none of the ingredients that make that really funky smell the red kimchi/kimchee has.

Barriehie I have this recipe in my saved box for sometime later to make, you might like this filling:

And just as an aside, In Hawaii we make what we call Manapua. They're filled dough, closed off like a dim sum and either steamed or baked. The dough totally enrobes the filling, but with a nice ratio of filling to dough.

Thank you! I've bookmarked it in my browser. It's too hot to be baking bread so this will work well for sure.

[edit - I forgot to also mention that we turn the bao over, seam-side down on a piece of parchment or waxed paper before steaming or baking - my personal favorite is baked Manapua.

When I first met DH, my little Italian boy from Philly who thought that any Asian food was beyond him, way too foreign, he ate the paper on the bottom of the Manapua!

I think, if I remember right, seam side down otherwise they'll "fan open". I've made these years ago after my wife bought some that were frozen at the Korean store.
