Nikuman

Spring in Sweden Hills

Last Sunday I went out to Sweden Hills to make "nikuman" with some friends who live there. It was the first time I ever made nikuman, though I have eaten many. It is a steamed bread bun filled with meat or whatever you can come up with.

Dough, filling, and a pot for steaming

Dough stuffed with filling (the smooth ones are not made by me)

Steaming

You always have to have lots of dishes in Japan, so the nikuman were eaten with fried rice and noodles.

The end result
