Ok so lot of comments about subbing the bun...heres the thing. This bun is called Bai Ji Mo and the it's been around for hundreds of years. The bun is very unique, it has sear patters on the outside otherwise it's pure white. It's thin with a subtle crunch and is basically the go to "bun" for the northern Chinese and it is just as important as whatever goes inside it. So I do encourage everyone to make it and try it because it is a very unique Chinese dish.
There's a restaurant in Alameda, CA that uses English muffins which.. well... is honestly heretical. It's a match in size and shape but the texture is completely off. A thick pita (the pocket-less kind), toasted, would be a better choice, but there's really nothing that compares with the OG.
I think that's how all people who love to cook are. I'm at the point where I'll read through a recipe, pull out the ingredients and measure nothing. I'll look at the list to get an idea, but I always eyeball it.
Mike you need to ask your parents or grands or aunties to write down even a few recipes or make some notes for you or give you notes scribbled out. (Even clippings they wrote on maybe their ideas)....you will be so thankful to see it later in life and pass down to the next generation. I’ve have bound together all the written (and time worn and stained) recipes of my grandmothers, great grandmothers and my mom. Also the guys too, just not as many. Yes because all cultures the parents and grandparents cooked without recipes or moved on to cooking their own way and forgetting the initial one. Even I do that now. It’s so nice seeing all the history together and handwriting of the elders that have passed on or may soon. A lot of that they had the date on or what they made it for....yes that will go to my kids but also made copies to pass out to the very large family. And they can add to it as well!
Thats exactly how my creole family cooks too😂 i saw the perfect meme of this: i keep sprinkling until i hear the voice of my ancestors say “thats enough child”😌🙏🏽
Haha. I'm German and my Granny measured like that when cooking. Today my daughter wanted Japanese fried rice and Hibachi chicken. She helped some and asked how much soy sauce and I told her "Just enough " play it by ear 😂
@@skylandersfan783 Nein. Leider noch nicht. Du? Ich trau mich nicht mit den Brötchen. Habe solche noch nie gegessen und ich bin mehr ein Koch und nicht Bäcker. Wenn ich wüsste wie sie smecken würde ich mich vielleicht mehr wagen. Ich habe Angst die mache ich und sie sind so trocken und schmecken wie Pappkarton. 😂
Kleinochsenfurter hab die auch noch nicht gemacht aber werde die demnächst machen weil das halt schon sehr geil aussieht, beim ramen bin ich schon relativ gut muss ich sagen und ramen Nudeln mach ich auch selber , ich mach auch das Schweinefleisch echt gut (selbstlob isss da xD) aber meine Freunde denen ich das gemacht habe sagen das gleiche also wird es wohl stimmen
@@skylandersfan783 Haha. 😅 Selbstlob ist doch nichts Schlimmes. Wenn Du super bist bist Du super. 🖒Ich koche gerne Reisnudeln Gerichte. Die einzigen 'Nudeln ' die ich selber mache sind Bayrische Spätzle. 😋 Entschuldige übrigens mein Deutsch. Mein Gehirn will heute Morgen überhaupt nichts übersetzen. Lass mich wissen wie Deine Pork Burger ankommen und ob ich mich auch wagen soll. Vor allem die Brötchen. Fleisch ist einfach. Schönes Wochenende! 😎
I honestly have to thank you for this recipe, for two reasons, one, it looks freaking amazing and I can't wait to try and cook it myself, but two, it prompted me to see if the instant pot is available in Australia AND IT IS NOW!!!!! So, now I've just gotta save up my bikkies and get one! Thanks for a great recipe Mikey!
These videos are my favorite. Your travel videos are great, but the [random] cooking in my kitchen ones are first of my top 3 favorites. Your personal experience stories are second with the scary ones in third.💙
At first, I was wondering how come the bun is so thin. Then, I thought, OH! It's Chinese hamburger.😊 That looks delish. I can't wait for the second recipe. 🍔
I made this last night for my husband who grew up in China ... he loved it and demolished them! I used my instant pot for the meat and it was so easy! I screwed up the bread dough (I added too much water and it was too sticky even after the 2nd rise) but I just added more flour, kneaded it until no longer sticky and let is rise for a third time. The buns still turned out great so is was a very forgiving recipe! Just an FYI for anyone intimidated about making this. I even added some hardboiled eggs to slowcook in the Instant Pot overnight after the meat was done to make some seasoned eggs. I'm saving this one to make again!
It’s looks yummy ,its amazing how recipes are passed down but are estimated quantities,more to do with taste ::::that’s why each time the dish tastes slightly different but yummy every time !
InstaPot rules! Thanks for this awesome recipe - oh, and don’t worry, exact measurements aren’t necessary. Just remember, it’s always more important to taste your food before serving others. Lol - best lesson ever!
Haha😂 your introduction is funny "add enough". I totally understand what you mean, My family is the same. I love watching you cook, your dishes look so delicious😋.
Looks delicious! Glad you showed us how long it takes to make it because now I can appreciate paying someone to make it instead. Need to find a place now...
My Instant Pot is my FAVORITE cooking tool in my kitchen. I'm sorry, Crock pot, we had a good run. ❤️❤️❤️ I use it for everything: soup, stews, roasts, beans, rice. I even make my own Greek yogurt in it, and proof bread dough. 👍👍
Lisa, u should make a few videos n show us how u use ur Instant Pot! I'd watch them! I'm still learning how to use mine.. I've got the 6 n 8 quart sizes. Thinking about getting a 3 quart too. My family at home is small but when we get together with relatives there's a lot of us. I started with the 6 qt, but it was too small so got the 8 qt. But for our home the 3 qt would suffice I think. Rambling on, sorry. Anyway, if u can... Make some videos!!
Every video you make, I become a better cook. Your use of ingredients is an art form. Last night I made corn dogs, simple ol' state fair brand. But instead of dipping them in standard ketchup or mustard, I used hot chili oil. That flavor transformed them into something special and new. Honestly I was tired of my cooking after 45 years and you brought new life to my food, no matter how simple it is. I can't wait to try this version of a "hamburger". I know it will be great. Thanks!
Thanks much for your recipe -- it produced great results. My family and I truly enjoyed it, and the results were so much better than rou jia mo that I get locally. I hope you will be able to publish a lamb filling recipe in the future, but I think it will be a long time before I feel the need to have an alternative to this one.
im from Jalisco Mexico, and our traditional Gorditas are made in a similar fashion, but are filled with many different items. Great content, keep it coming.
Ima try to cook that recipe myself today despite the buns! i know it will be a felony to use wheat-pitas but it worked fine for a similar recipe based on yours wich was unexpectedly delicious even if i didnt had all the ingrediences! Thank you very mmuch for sharing with us the recipes for those awesome chinese dishes! greets n much love from switzerland
I was wondering was that an instant pot behind you in one of the videos I love mine and will definitely try this . Especially the bun could probably put a ton of different things in there . another recipe with 5 spice mmmm 😋
rou jia mo is one of the first foods my dad ate when he first arrived in Xi'an in the 80s and fell in love with it. Then he met my mom and fell in love with her. And now I exist and can confess that rou jia mo is one of the best things that exists ever 😍
Can you do a video about using your air fryer? I just bought one too and I'd like to learn some creative ways to use it. I'm loving it so far, but I'm sure there are other great ways to use it.
Ok you combined so many regions for the way the food was prepped. Lets take eastern for dough and slice it like middle east for serving and add pork to call it a burger. Throw some pickles in there and we have a world wide tour. Seriously I am hungry now.
I had chinese burgers when I was in china, it was amazing and the only thing I got more then once besides these was that simple soup with some meat and bak choi, my chinese cooking improved tremendously when I got back.

Kindly mention how many grams of flour did you use with how much ml of water.

Its an amazing dish. I live in Shouguang, Shandong province & often eat this for a lunch!
i just want to thank you forthis awesome recipe! coocked it today and it was astonignlishy good 0w0! love ya mikey
Was wondering if I can buy them in a Asian store , since it looks like alot of work lol 😉
Your description of Chinese people giving recipes exactly mirrors how my Italian family passes them down!
I think that's how all people who love to cook are. I'm at the point where I'll read through a recipe, pull out the ingredients and measure nothing. I'll look at the list to get an idea, but I always eyeball it.
lmao. How much do I add?
"Whatever looks right."
Mike you need to ask your parents or grands or aunties to write down even a few recipes or make some notes for you or give you notes scribbled out. (Even clippings they wrote on maybe their ideas)....you will be so thankful to see it later in life and pass down to the next generation.

for sure! good idea :)
@@strictlydumpling tho if u ever make a cook book please dont say for salt just put enough xD.
you know i thought eating a meal before watching this would help
I was a fool
The meat looks so juicy and flavorful. My mouth is literally watering watching this 😭😍
Watching Mikey make a burger I've never had before while eating McD's fries and chicken nuggets;
Cries............
Not sure if these would go well with ketchup and fries and some soda pop. Maybe some ice green tea tho.
I was *instantly* impressed!
That pork looks amazing man.
Love anything you cook, but anything Pork it my utmost favourite ☺️
Thats exactly how my creole family cooks too😂 i saw the perfect meme of this: i keep sprinkling until i hear the voice of my ancestors say “thats enough child”😌🙏🏽
Yea the memes from uncle roger
I never ignore current events but thank you so much Mikey for the small distraction. I need a break "Cook With Mikey" every so often.
Haha. I'm German and my Granny measured like that when cooking. Today my daughter wanted Japanese fried rice and Hibachi chicken. She helped some and asked how much soy sauce and I told her "Just enough " play it by ear
😂
Watch Mickey then try to cook for your lovely daughter!
Noch jemand aus Deutschland der ihn feiert wie cool is das denn , hast du den burger schon ausprobiert ?

I don't eat pork but that looks yummy, specially the bread! Chinese cooking is awesome, so many varieties of cooking delicious food.
haha that’s how old school cooking you go with feel and taste no measurements required ty for the precise(?) measurements😁
Another "Cooking Random Stuff in my Kitchen" episode. Yay!
the best one, I really missed his cooking shows
Thank you Mike. Looks that you really worked on the umami of this dish and the buns look appetizing.
Heck yeah. I’ve been waiting for this one !!!
I’ve got all the ingredients too. Looks like I’m cooking this tonight
dang you stocked!
Thank you for keeping us sane during these times Mike. We know it’s hard on you too! ,so thank you!
Mickey brings joyful and happiness to us during this hard time
I heard the crunch of that toasty bun is just delish and to make it better you used the most delicious part of the pork ..Great recipe Mikey ❤️🥰
I am SOOOOOOOOOOO grateful for your recipes!!!
Watching from New Zealand Love your videos these are my favourite pork buns soo yum your a legend makes my day when a new video is uploaded 😀
How could someone dislike
Every one got different opinions and feelings so it's normal you wont find any video with out dislike :)
I am addicted to your channel Mikey!
After this video, will always smile every time I use the yeast. Activate!
Omg we tried this for the first time in Xian and it's our favourite Chinese food! Hard to find outside of China thanks for the recipe
Got me hungry. Recipes like these are best to make in bulk because it's time consuming and hella worth it.
You nailed it Mikey! Looks just like the ones you’ve gotten in your previous videos! So good.

Finally seeing Mike cooking rou jia mo. The best rou jia mo I ate was in Xian Gaoling
Awesome Mike Great video I am going to need one or 2 or 5 or ummmm On the other hand Give me them all

That Chinese Jedi got me.

Yummmm I gotta try this now. Thanks Mike!
希望你将来能做一个辣椒炒羊肉加馍！期待凉皮和米皮的视频！
Wow this is gonna be good!!!

Lol try Texas style brisket in there
Yesss another recipe to try!
I'm not even hungry but my brain is telling my body it is. Your channel is awesome

I find that kneeding dough is cerebral. It calms my mind. I guess it is the repetition that calms.
Thank you Mike! Can’t wait to try this
I love to try Chinese burger! How does it taste?
Add enough, I live by that mantra :)
Look for Yummy and Juicy.... Love to Try! And I would Add abit of Chiffonade Iceberg Lettuces to go with it too.
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing Mikey
I’m late I feel so bad. I still got to see a great video, I could eat two of those. Thank you Mikey
Yay! Chinese food and Instant Pot, together. I've been waiting for this. Gotta try it. I KNEAD a Kitchenaid mixer, dough.😁
I so can't wait to try this. Thank you
Everything you cooked looks superrrr good!!!!
Chinese empanadas!! awesome stuff!!
Cool man. I am from 东北. These are good foods. I should watch your tutorial on 凉皮.
Can you do a video about using your air fryer? I just bought one too and I'd like to learn some creative ways to use it. I'm loving it so far, but I'm sure there are other great ways to use it.
I'd like this too! I'm on the fence whether to buy one or not. 🤔
Order my intstant pot today, can’t wait

Love the cooking video!!😍😃👍🏽👍🏽
I love those burgers. Thanks for this video
Your a legend.. keep up these great vids 👍
I had chinese burgers when I was in china, it was amazing and the only thing I got more then once besides these was that simple soup with some meat and bak choi, my chinese cooking improved tremendously when I got back.
Looks Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge of yourself and family! Will you do foil chicken please!?!
thanks for your recipe.i make my buns very nice🥰🥰
I remember how long I had to scour YT for Chinese pork burger vids. That was research for my book :D
Remember eating these all the time in dalian almost 20 years ago
Notification squad on!!! Mike has great enthusiasm when food comes!!! 😅😅💯
I cook with no exact measurements for my dishes, I just know how much I need from eyeballing & tasting. So I can relate LoL!
米皮and Chinese burger is god combo
