A lovely fusion dish. The combined flavors of green onion kimchi (pa-kimchi) and cheese, both of which are fermented, create a filling with an incredible umami richness.
Trimmed and flattened bread slices are filled with ham and cheese, rolled, dipped in egg, covered with panko and deep fried for ten seconds. A fast and lovely snack to put you in a good mood.
Chopped bacon is browned until fat is rendered, scrambled eggs and scallions are stirred in just until set, and the combo is piled on the bottom half of toasted bun.
Lightly crisp buns are split and stuffed with chopped pork belly that had been braised to perfect tenderness. Adding cilantro to the pork filling gives the snack a richer flavor and aroma.
Filipino humba, an adaptation of Chinese red-braised pork belly, meets mantou and Vietnamese pickled carrot and radish in a magnificent fusion version of pork belly buns.
A new way to enjoy Filipino pork adobo! Cook pulled pork in adobo sauce and seasonings, and use as tortilla filling. Add pickled vegetables for balance and contrast.
If you feel that the steamed pork buns from the neighborhood Chinese place could be better, that the bread is not fluffy enough and there isn’t sufficient meat filling, perhaps it’s time that you try making this dim sum favorite at home.
