Fluffy Stuffed Tuna Buns & Curried Turkey Buns

This bun is emblematic of the hybrid food culture in Hong Kong because the filling is essentially a Western tuna salad, made by simply tossing canned tuna with mayo. As a result, ingredients in this recipe can all be easily found at any grocery stores abroad.

Because we had ground turkey left in the fridge, we improvised and made a curried turkey filling as well. The curried turkey version is inspired by samosas, originally from South Asia but are commonly found in local Hong Kong bakeries. Hong Kong has a sizable South Asian community because of the city’s colonial history.

Fragrant Spiced Salt Pork Chops

I was inspired to make this dish after getting a pack of thin pork chop on sale at the supermarket. It’s easy to overcook pork chop that thin. A quick pan-fry is the way to go. This is a quick Hong Kong classic that is both easy and flavorful. It goes well with a bowl of white rice.

My white American partner Asher had never had this dish before, nor had he tasted spiced salt....
