I picked up a package of "Wei-Chuan" brand frozen pork mini-buns (there's got to be a "that's what she said" double meaning in here somewhere), figuring it could tide me over if I had any dim sum cravings.
After steaming in the rice cooker, I pulled one out, took a bite... and it was actually really good! Even complete with the juices that flow out of the bun, which gives it even more authenticity (Chinese people will know what I'm talking about). The meat had the right flavors, almost (dare I say) Chinatown like taste?

Are those actually buns? They look more like dumplings.
They're buns... "bao" if you translate it.
I want some.
I finally found one Chinese restaurant that has bbq pork bao's on their appetizer menu. While okay, I've had better (homemade, to be fair - we made those among other things on meat-pie day in baking class!), but they were definitely worth it.
