Cheeseburger Steamed Pods
Inspired by Satu'li Canteen, Pandora — The World of Avatar
A cheeseburger inside a steamed bao bun. Weird on paper, beloved in practice.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 2 dill pickles, diced
- 1 batch bao dough (or 16 frozen bao dough balls, thawed)
Method
- Brown the beef with the onion, drain, and stir in the ketchup, mustard, cheddar, and pickles. Cool slightly.
- Flatten each dough ball, fill with a spoonful of the cheeseburger mixture, and pinch closed.
- Steam seam-side down over simmering water for 10-12 minutes until puffed.
- Serve warm with extra ketchup and mustard for dipping.
