Steamed Buns!

like your chinese grandmother use to make them

Giving them a go for the olympics dinner party at the house we're sitting in north Berkeley

Research - pre bun making:

two routes:
1. steamed buns stuffed and steamed all together, dim sum like ones
2. steamed little bread "tacos" , momofuku like. where you fill them with whatever after the fact.

we don't have a steamer but read that a rice cooker would do the trick, so that's what we tried.

The dough recipe. pretty much your basic bread dough.

Fillings:
-portobella mushroom (soaked in some soy, salt pepper, sriracha, something else? sauce and pan fried)
-pickled carrots and bean sprouts
-pickled cucumber and jalapeno
-a little sriracha mayo

Olympic night, route 1:

Leftover dough the following day, route 2:
