Hi there.

I tried this the other day.

At first I thought it was too sweet but I liked it once I started thinking of it as a dessert.

Next time I’ll ask for some mustard:)

Thanks KyotoFoodie for the heads up.

The nikuman sounds delicious from your description, and it does reminds me of the chinese char siu pau… *drools*

There are so many different type of fillings for chinese baozi it is simply amazing! I need to try making my own one day!

Never had the Kyoto style but I really miss the nikuman steamers at the combini this time of year.
