Pork Buns - Momofuku Pork Belly

These are the Pork Buns we made with the Momofuku Pork Belly...

Pork Buns - Momofuku Pork Belly

• Hoisin Sauce
• 1 Cucumber - Cut into 1/8 pieces with the seeds & watery parts removed
• Couple of Sprigs of Spring onion - White to light green parts only, cut into 5cm pieces
• Steam Buns - 'Man Tou' from my local Asian grocery store.
• Momofuku Pork Belly pieces - sliced just over 1cm thick.

Method:

1. Retrieve the pork belly from the fridge and slice into pieces just over 1cm thick.
2. Heat up the pork belly pieces in the oven. (about 160C).
3. While that is heating up, bring a wok with some water to boil and use it as a steamer to cook the Steam buns according to the packet instructions. This should take about 5 mins
4. Slice the steam buns down the middle, and open up the steam buns.
5. Place one piece of pork belly with sliced cucumber and spring onion and about 1 teaspoon (or more) of Hoisin Sauce
6. Close up the bun and consume immediately. :)

There is a recipe for proper steam buns, but I didn't really have the time to do it. Next time..next time I will. :)
