I am having company over and I was thinking of making a bunch of chinese steam buns and hae a few different fillings and condiments so people can fill their own.
Right now I have:
>Char Siu
>Sliced green onions

Can't think of anything else right now.
Can you come up with at least two unique fillings and some condiments?

[Anonymous No.14207250]

roast duck, though that's probably going to be pretty complicated to make

radishes
shitake mushrooms (cooked)
pickled vegetables of some kind
cilantro

hoisin sauce

Roast duck is actually pretty easy, but you don't get much meat off it and it's a pain to clean up.

>>14207269
yeah sorry, more meant the logistics of the roast duck than the making of it

i'm struggling to think of more meat options because char siu is my favourite bao filling lol

If all you can come up with is pork and onions then maybe you should aim for something a little simpler. Maybe just a big casserole dish or something.

But you'll want at least two kinds of meat, so throw some chicken in there. Shredded or ground. or Tofu.


Some chili pepper sauce
Some non-spicy shit like yum-yum sauce or white/garlic sauce.
Peanut Sauce or some kind of fruity shit if you wanna get fancy.

sliced cucumber
fried shrimp
pickled onions
spicy mayo
chili crisp
crushed peanuts
cumin grilled lamb

[Anonymous No.14207283]

plain steamed buns always go well with some XO sauce as condiments
shrimp + fatty pork is always a classic, mix with your desired seasonings, form into balls and braise them in savoury sauce then devour with the buns
fry the the buns to crisp up that skin, then dip in condensed milk

Is this something you have done before? It sounds like something you have never done and assume you can do it even tho you fuck up everything you try

If it's going to be that you don't fill them like a pork bun, you're really making something else akin to like what you'd put into a vietnamese sub, or stuffed bao, then you should offer about 3 protein fillings, and 2 garnishes tied to each.
FUSION since it's already off the traditional

So, char siu pork or some chinese glazed country ribs you can grill or broil, lovingly cooked soy-ginger pork belly, beef korean style like bulgogi sauced ribeye strips, simple poached white chicken pulled or richer duck, or fried "kfc" chicken for crunchy texture, some hoisin marinated and glazed mushrooms (vegans?).
fresh cilantro sprigs or scallions to sprinkle on top
maybe some pickled matchsticks of daikon, carrot and cucumber. Sliced radishes. Kimchee.
A pourover sauce to remoisten the BBQ, or a hot spicy chili crisp sauce too, squeeze of sriracha or sweet-hot thai chili sauce or something mayo-based and spicy like a yumyum.

These things are fussy and made to order, these buns like you want. If you want to make it easier on yourself scrap this idea and make baked buns. They can be rewarmed, torn open and topped with garnishes instead. But, it's really the big batch choice. You can also make these baked buns about 50% of your dinner, and only make to order the 2nd option. Will you have 15 steamer baskets on your stove? Feeding more than 2 others? Have lots of booze going while you wait around between your 2 bites.

How is it off the traditional? You think people in China don’t serve little flat steamed bread to make weird mini tacos with some meals? Have you ever even left your state?

You sound like a working class chump. I bet you thought it would be a great "investment", how you would wake up to a warm, healthy breakfast to start off your long day. Maybe, you even had a couple thoughts about all the other nifty little uses you could find for the thing, how it would help you cook healthier meals in general, shed a couple pounds off the old gut, boost your confidence around work and with the ladies. Yeah, maybe that bamboo steamer basket would start your life cooking again, wouldn't it? I can see your strained hands holding the box and reading through it carefully at the store. A little bit pricey, but you're the type of guy who thinks everything is more than you can spend, aren't you. And look what happened to you. Look what the bamboo steamer basket did to you. Fucked you over, and made you clean it like a useless bitch. You don't even fucking like gua bao. Piece of shit, you've been repeating those three words your whole life, haven't you. Yeah, how was work after that piece of shit fucked you over? I bet it was on your mind the whole day, you probably didn't say shit to nobody. Can't be telling people about your mistakes. How your little fix yourself plan, failed you. Don't want people to start thinking you're the failure. You're the piece of shit, all along. You don't want that do you? You don't want to be the piece of shit everybody secretly whispers about, do you? Was your father a piece of shit like you? I bet he never had a bamboo steamer basket. He had a woman, a house, a damn good job. I bet it's steaming you the fuck alive, isn't it. Comparing yourself to him. How one day when all the steam runs our of your life, you'll discover how you're nothing more than burnt shit to be scrapped off and thrown in the trash.

One of my favorites is roast pork belly + pickled mustard greens. Shouldn't be too hard to find a foolproof recipe.
Some pickled veg as accoutrement could give kind of a banh mih vibe.
other things to try could be bulgogi, or even some kind of fried chicken
I think a bit of crunch could go real welll with these

Hello, I'm one of those men.

See, unlike the skinhead untouchables who inhabit this site, I grew up and became a normal human being with healthy relationships and a good career.

I don't have a problem with gay people.
I don't have a problem with brown people.
I don't have a problem with Muslims.
I don't have a problem with Jews.
I kinda sorta respect the holyfuckinghell out of modern women.

In other words, I'm not a pea brained toddler repeating history as farce with an orange fucktard who puts children into LITERAL concentration camps.

I'm not pissing my pants scared at the idea of women having more voices, more votes, and - GASP - more control over worldly affairs.

I'm not cucked to the cruel, nonsensical, evil ideas cooked up by shitty white men a hundred fucking years ago, or the shitty sexist morals all but beaten into us by our shitty fucking forefathers.

I'm free of toxic masculinity. Fuck yes, you will be hearing that phrase a whole fucking lot over the next ten years, and it will become law.

So suck my asshole, you fucking cowards. Go real deep and suck like I know you secretly want to.

Fascism is so fucking dead after 2020 you won't even be able to smell its oozing corpse.

Your world is thrashing around on its deathbed as we speak.

It's gone for fucking forever as soon as the rotten Cheetoh is gone.

Here, have a look inside my crystal ball.

I see a whole fucking lot of bold, pissed off, beautiful women tap dancing on your skull for the HELL you inflicted on them the past four years.

And men like me will be right there at their sides just laughing. Mocking. Drowning you in heaps upon heaps of your own shitty shit.
