Steamed Buns and I steamed them myself!
I had a meeting out in the
West Valley of the San Fernando Valley.
It went later than I planned so I knew I would not make the Chinese New
Year event in Studio City. As I
started back home I decided to stop at Star 99 store on Sepulveda Blvd in Van
Nuys. This is a huge Asian grocery
store. I knew I wanted another
bottle of that fabulous Sweet Soy Sauce and I always find great stuff there. So I stopped.
It was busy of course and
I enjoyed watching the crowd at the fresh fish counter. I didn’t think I wanted to try to make
a whole fish this time although I had heard that it was good fortune to do so.
I got some more tea and
also stopped at the fresh fruit area for my favorite apples that I get there
and also got my Sweet Soy Sauce.
Then I just browsed. I
headed toward the bakery area since I also have to pick up their Coconut Milk
Butter Bread
As I got to the other end
of the store there was a small crowd in the corner. What was the excitement? They had a “Buy 1, Get 1 Free” special. Oh I do love specials. And it was the steamed buns. Everyone was searching for the
Barbequed Beef ones but alas they were gone. I asked one man if I could freeze some since two packages
would be way too much for me and he nicely told me that I could freeze
them. So I picked up a
package of the Pork and Vegetable and another package of the Red Bean
Paste.
When I got home I pulled
out my trusty wok and the steaming rack which I don’t use very often. I prepared some buns along with
some Tri Tip beef that I had
leftover from the night before.
I decided to try some of
my favorite Sweet Soy Sauce on the
plate with my steamed buns. I
know, I know, that probably is not
correct but it was good!
I know it may sound silly
to all of my friends in Hong Kong but I was so proud that I could celebrate the
Chinese New Year in my own little way last night.
So Happy New Year again
everyone and let me know what else I could try. I so love all the wonderful tastes I get in Hong Kong and
would love to try some more new recipes back here at home. But please know that I am a “preschooler”
when it comes to these recipes.
But hey I can share some great Midwesterner, farm recipes. So let me know what you think I might
like.
And I still have more
steamed buns to prepare for the next few days.
