The end of summer when Chinese steamed buns began to line up at convenience stores. I found an item called "Nikuman Maker" at the 100-yen shop Can Do.


You can make meat buns using bread and shumai. The point is to get out with a cute pig face.

Hundred yen store meat bun maker

Things to prepare・ 2 slices of bread (thin slices for 8 slices and sandwiches)
・ 1 or 2 dumplings


Procedure
Heat the bread in the microwave to make it moist. * Approximately 30 seconds at 500W


Pull out the bread with the transparent mold. Same for both.



Place one of them on the mold and lightly press it to fit the dent.


Arrange the cut dumplings in the recessed part.


Place another piece of bread from the top, cover it with a blue mold, and press it strongly to pull out the whole.




Heat it again and it's done. * Approximately 30 seconds at 500W


By warming and pressing during die cutting, the bread becomes moist and chewy. With the help of the shumai rind, the texture is closer to that of Chinese steamed buns than you might imagine.



The impression of taste is likely to change considerably depending on the individuality of the shumai filling. You can also make steamed buns and Chinese steamed buns by wrapping bean paste and curry.
