Many fusion recipes and restaurants fall flat. French-Indian fusion or Japanese-Greek cuisine might not make much sense, but sometimes there's a recipe that emerges that looks too delicious not to try, even if it'd be considered blasphemous by any member of either culture involved. This is where carnitas steamed buns come in. The recipe comes from Buzzfeed Tasty, whose excellent food videos have been blowing up on Facebook.
Carnitas is a Mexican pork dish that is used as taco filling, usually accompanied by cilantro, pico de gallo, diced onion, beans, cubes of pineapple and spicy salsa, like in this carnitas recipe from All Recipes. Steamed buns are typically found in Chinese cuisine, and they're big fluffy white dumplings often full of barbecued sweet and sour pork, like in this steamed buns recipe from Woks of Life. Both dishes are magnificent, and you should learn to master them because they're bound to impress anyone who eats them.
Carnitas steamed buns can be made by making carnitas and steamed buns dough and putting them together and making magic happen. Watch the video below that shows you how to do it, and then check the top comment for a detailed ingredients and instructions list.
