Pork floss is used inside rice rolls, or eaten with congee, or with a bit of bread. One of my favorite (and easy!) tricks is to grab a slice of bread, slaughter on some butter, add some pork floss, roll it up and it's a quick delicious and very popular snack in our household. Even my wee cat loves the stuff! This time I decided to go a bit more formal and make the proper Pork Floss buns, just like you can buy at the bakery! A soft enriched bun with a hidden heart of pork floss as well as a luscious piling of pork floss on top, this bun is as good looking as it is tasty!

Salted Egg Yolk Lotus Seed Paste Bun 白蓮蓉鹹蛋包
This gorgeous gold and orange round within round of yummiliciousness in a pristine white bun is our offering for this year's Chinese New Year, the Year of the Tiger. The perfect circle of the yolk in this Salted Egg Yolk Lotus Seed Paste Bun symbolizes the all important Chinese concept of the family unity. Not saying that Chinese families don't fight, they do and they do it just as robustly as other folk do (yeah, personal experience).
But even with all the fighting that can happen, the Chinese believe that family is the bedrock. This is especially so around Chinese New Year when the whole family gets together to bring in the New Year. Our Salted Egg Yolk Lotus Seed Paste Bun 白蓮蓉鹹蛋包 is not only yummilicious with its soft fluffy white bread wrapped around a heart of creamy sweet lotus seed paste and lusciously melty salted egg yolk but also rich in its symbolism of unity. It's the perfect way to celebrate the New Year!
