Prep time

These delicious buns can be stuffed with anything, but the combination of spicy sour kimchi and sweet hoisin marinated mushrooms is ideal. This bun recipe is adapted from the awesome Momofuku cookbook by David Chang, but this version makes for a larger taco-like bun that fits more goodness inside.

Ingredients

• 3/4 Tbsp active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 cups bread flour, plus 2 Tbsp
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp nonfat dry milk powder
• 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, rounded
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 Tbsp rendered pork fat or vegetable shortening, at room temperature
• vegetable oil
• 300g baby king oyster mushroom
• 1 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/2 cup ponzu sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 Tbsp grated ginger
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 1 jar Cabbage Patch Kimchi
• Kewpie brand mayonnaise
• 3/4 cup quick pickled cucumber

Instructions

Mushroom Filling

1. Clean mushrooms, and slice lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together hoisin, ponzu, grated ginger, and 1/2 cup of water.
3. Add mushrooms to hoisin mix to marinate for 15 minutes.
4. Remove mushrooms from marinade and add to a frying pan over medium to low heat. Cook until tender and sticky, then set aside.
5. Add the rest of the marinade to the frying pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until it had thickened.
6. Mix the mushrooms and the reduced marinade. Set aside.

Buns

1. To begin making the buns, stir together the yeast and 3/4 of a cup of warm water in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, sugar, milk powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda and fat. Mix with a wooden spoon until a ball forms, scraping the edges of the bowl. Transfer the ball of dough to a lightly oiled clean surface and kneed for 4-5 minutes. Oil a medium-large sized bowl with vegetable oil and place the dough inside, cover and seal with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm area until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half.
2. Punch the dough down, and place it on a clean work surface. Using a sharp knife, divide the dough into 5 equal pieces. Gently roll the pieces into logs, then cut each log into 3 pieces, making 15 pieces total. They should be about the size of a small lime. Roll each piece into a ball and set them on baking sheets. Cover them with a warm, damp kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 minutes. Cut out fifteen 6-inch squares of parchment paper.
3. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a 5-6 inch-long oval. They should be quite thin; below 1/4 inch. Brush lightly with vegetable oil, lay a wooden spoon across the center of the oval, and fold the oval over onto itself to form a bun. Gently pull out the spoon, leaving the bun folded, and transfer it to a square of parchment paper. Put it back under the towel, and form the rest of the buns.
4. Set up a small steamer on top of the stove. Work in batches to steam the buns, without them touching, for 5-6 minutes each or until dough has tightened and puffed up, but has not browned. Use the buns immediately, or allow them to cool completely, then put them in plastic freezer bags and freeze for up to 2 months, and use a stove top steamer for 2 to 3 minutes to reheat.

Assembly

1. Open a warm bun and drizzle with kewpie mayonnaise, add 2/3 slices of baby king oyster mushroom, a tablespoon of Cabbage Patch Kimchi, pickled cucumber, and green onion.

Nutritious and delicious! You can conquer a hectic day after this meal.

Ingredients

Sesame Dressing

• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce
• 1 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
• 3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tsp honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 Tbsp warm water
• 1 tsp red chilli oil (optional)
• 1 tsp salt

Bowls

• 4 bundles Soba noodles
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups kimchi
• 12 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
• 4 eggs
• sesame seeds (garnish, optional)
• olive oil
• salt & freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

1. Throw all ingredients for the dressing in a jar and shake it up. 
2. Boil enough water to submerge your egg or eggs in a small pot. When the water is at a rolling boil, slowly and carefully lower the eggs into the pot with a spoon to ensure they don’t crack when they hit bottom. Boil the eggs for 6 minutes or 5 1/2 minutes for a bit runnier. Discard the boiling water and run cold water over the eggs. When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggs carefully. 
3. Add the 4 bundles of soba noodles to 4 quarts of boiling water and cook at a boil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain well and while the noodles are still hot, toss in the dressing.
4. Heat a little bit of olive oil in a medium cast iron pan over medium heat. Sauté the kale lightly for about 2 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Remove from pan before the kale wilts. Set aside.
5. Heat a little more olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add in the shiitakes/or other mushrooms in one layer, it's important not to crowd the pan so that the mushrooms sear properly. Season with salt & pepper. Sear for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside.
6. After you peel the eggs and cut in half, finely chop the scallions, chop the Cabbage Patch Kimchi; the assembly line is ready to go! Use a large bowl and add noodles. Arrange the rest of the items as you like!
