Making Steamed Pork Buns

This is how I make steamed pork buns - it's not an authentic recipe, but it turns out just the way I like them.

[@PeeJay7290]

My four year old daughter just watched this in fascination, and after shouting "pork chunks" several times, has insisted we make some tomorrow... !

I dont usually have motivation to get up and live life. I rarely cook, I often think about how simple life would be when over. I say this becuase you should know, your videos help calm me down. Your videos make me want to get up and cook, and in a weird way make me feel like its simply finding the fun in everyday activities that make life more than just day to day grinding. Thank you, for everything so far.

I think Shrimp's videos really give me that spark too. Regardless of what project he's working on, it reminds me that I can do this too. Even if I'm tired after work, I can make biscuits or start seeds growing or make jam, and it's those kinds of projects that give me some peace and revive me.

[@KismetLizard]

I absolutely agree with everything being said. It's the little things that matter.

Hey, AS! I'm going to make these next week. Would you mind terribly writing the recipes down and putting them in the description or a link or something? It's very helpful for people who want to make the recipe at home. Edit: I decided to just write it here for anyone that can use it. Hope it helps! For the dough: 450g (3 cups) of white flour 1 packet of yeast 2 tsp of sugar 1 tbsp of vegetable oil 1/2 tsp of salt 350ml (1 and 2/5 cups) of lukewarm water For the filling: 3 tbsp of hoisin sauce 2 tbsp of apricot jam 2 tbsp of damson jam add soy sauce/vinegar to taste PS: I also share your aversion to pull tabs! I totally get it! I never considered that I could just open the pull tab cans with a can opener, but that's exactly what I plan to do from now on! Thanks!

[@gingerale1591]

maybe the pork in this recipe could be replaced with some sort of beans? It would be hard to make sure that they're both properly cooked and not too mushy, but I think that would be a fun experiment.

[@blahza12345]

@@gingerale1591 yes! I thing I would go for cooked beans/chickpeas, partly mashed, and some sautéed mushrooms

[@BananaLizard]

"so you call them steamed despite the fact that they're obviously grilled."

[@davidw1518]

Arguably they were baked (although, with the water producing steam in the oven, "steamed" does seem more appropriate), but no grill was involved, they were definitely not grilled.

[@MysteriumArcanum]

@David W I think they were referencing the "Steamed Hams" bit from The Simpsons

[@staticaster1309]

Hello! I love your videos and your channel. I really want to make these, but what is a strong flour?

[@AtomicShrimp]

Strong flour is bread flour. Higher in gluten

[@applegal3058]

if you're from Canada, you can probably just use all purpose flour. Our wheat is harder than other countries. At least that's what I've read. I've used hard or strong flour once, and was disappointed, so went back to good old all purpose. That's all I've ever used to make bread.

[@sandysani6045]

Hey, Atomic Shrimp, a lovely video thanks for posting it! I'm very curious about the pink stuff in the bottle on the counter next to your toaster. Is it pink salt? Just being curious, you probably won't even notice that I asked, but I decided to try my luck! Thanks anyway, 😊😊😊😊 I really enjoy watching your videos! I keep learning so much. Kind regards and stay safe and healthy and happy.

HI there. Yes - it's pink salt in a bottle that has a sort of grinder as the lid - something like this (although the linked product also has pepper in it): www.lecomptoirdemathilde.com/gb/sels-du-monde/521-pink-himalayan-salt-with-espelette-pepper-stackable-10-22-oz

So I really love your videos. You're a well rounded dude with heck of a sense of humor. But this video left me with a very serious question... I have noticed your dog in your videos.

And thanks for all the interesting content aswell mate.

We don't know what breed Eva is, as she is a rescue. We think probably mixed parentage with whippet, terrier and possible Basenji in the mix

Doesn't look bad, but if they brown, I don't think you can really call them steamed buns.

Fair - although I've had pork buns in Chinatown that had a little bit of light browning on the top, but not really anything you'd call a crust

[@steammachine3061]

Thats making me hungry lol. We have porkbelly in the freezer that needs using, i might have to do a pulled barbeque pork version. With posh baked beans. Personally i would hwve deglazed tha pan with water or maybe even lime juice and then reduce and thicken if nesssesary to add to the meat. But then i always overthink any meal i make lol

[@AtomicShrimp]

SteamMachine pulled pork would be fantastic in these. Chill it down before assembling the buns, then the gravy will be easier to enclose in the dough
