NIKUMAN / BUTAMAN / PORK BUN

Nikuman / Butaman / Pork Bun image

This is a steamed bun with a pork filling. I first tasted this in Japan, it warms you up on a cool day. And served with hot mustard and soy sauce it is perfection. I found this recipe by searching on the internet.

These pork buns were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

These pork buns were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I might try baking them instead of steaming them next time.

These pork buns were okay. The dough was a little dense for my taste, but the filling was good. I might try making them again with a different dough recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pork buns turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them. Next time, I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on them.

These pork buns were a disappointment. The dough was tough, and the filling was bland. I won't be making them again.
