ZaneJapanese Nikuman or Baozi Had a fun adventure to H-Mart with Morgan and Ember, got all the ingredients fresh. The buns are filled with pork belly, ground pork, shitake mushrooms and fresh ginger among other things NikitaWow! What a challenge - steamed! Obviously, I could have steamed up some veggies and called it a day, but I truly wanted to challenge myself by trying something new. And this was WAYYYYYYYYY outside of my comfort zone, but hey - that's how we grow, right? Honestly, I can't remember what these were called except "Pan-fried Steamed Buns." They are filled with a vegetarian mix of zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, scallions, and a plethora of asian seasoning like soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and more. SO - the flavors were totally YUM! But - mistakes were made. First, I rolled the dough out too thin before I stuffed them. This caused the dough to take on the texture of a steam dumpling rather than a bun. I also think I may have taken the lid off just a smidge too soon. It looked like the water had evaporated, but I noticed the small amounts of leftover water after I had taken the lid off. It was too late by then. The whole family decided we want to see these again, so I'll get another chance to get it right. GeorgiaSo I had some very ripe bananas that I needed to do something with. And this weeks food challenge was steamed.. How on earth can I mix those two together.. If there's a will there's a way. Actually when I was looking up different steamed recipes I found that you could steam most anything. So I thought. What the heck. What do I have to lose other than a couple of over ripe bananas and a handful of perfectly good chocolate chips. I used the steam setting on my instant pot and steamed them for the same length that it called to bake them. The verdict? I actually liked better than baked. Maybe it was just the muffins because muffins tend to be a little dry and these were not at all, CammyMandySteamed. What a great idea. Found some crab legs on sale and thought let’s do it. Treat Yo Self, right? What a wonderful treat it was! JenSteamed!
A brand new food challenge for us. Until next week, Zane, Nikita, Georgia, Cammy, Mandy and Jen
