Inspired by my brother Thomas (aka Chef/Broker), I attempted to make these famous Momofuku Sweet Buns and Pork FROM SCRATCH! "It's super easy!" I was pretty nervous starting this, but because I know my kids LOVE sweet buns and I love peking duck, I thought if I can perfect this dish, it will be a great staple at family get togethers.
I started a little later than I hoped, so I ended up staying up past midnight to get all the buns steamed. But I'm learning to manage my cooking/baking time better (esp. those "let the dough rise" moments :P)!
After all was said and done, I am very proud of myself for attempting this and it was actually EDIBLE, too... BONUS!
Thanks, Thomas for the book and the inspiration :)
p.s. Who knew 10 yrs ago when I was given my 1st Kitchenaid mixer as a wedding gift, I almost burned out the motor and may need to upgrade to a "professional" model...
