The Comic Genesis Pot Luck!

Yeah, I'm gonna make a tomato and tunafish sauce right now.

Most of my recipes come out of cookbooks or off boxes but this one I adapted myself from several recipes for the same dish.

Nikuman (aka pork bun):

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
4 tsp sesame oil
3 oz milk
3 - 4 oz water
Egg wash (1 egg, to tbsp water, whisked)
Sesame seeds (optional)
1/4 lb ground pork
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp approx fresh ginger, minced
1 1/2 approx fresh garlic, minced
1 oz canned bamboo shoots, minced
2 shitake mushrooms, minced
1 tbsp green onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup approx cabbage, chopped fine
1 tbsp sake (optional)
Srirancha to taste.

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Add vegetable oil and 1 tsp sesame oil, mix it in as well as you can. Add milk and enough water to make dough hold together.

Cover bowl and let dough rest 20-30 minutes while preparing filling.

Mix ground pork, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and remaining sesame oil in medium bowl. Add ginger, garlic, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and green onion. Add sake and/or srirancha, if desired. Mix well. Stir in as much cabbage as you can.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead. Divide into six for small buns, or four for large buns. Roll each piece into a ball with your hands, and roll flat with rolling pin.

Place filling center of dough. Brush edges of dough with egg wash and wrap dough around filling, closing at the top with a twist.

Optional: bush buns with remaining egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Place buns on small sheets of tinfoil and let rest 15-20 minutes while bringing covered pot of water to a slow boil.

Put steamer rack into pot, place buns on rack, cover. Steam 15-20 minutes, peel off foil, eat, and try to think of things to do with the rest of the can of bamboo shoots.

Were this a real pot luck I would probably bake a pie, but you can all figure out pie on your own. It's as easy as... well you know.

Heart Faliure In A Sandwitch-

Take two slices of bread
Fill with ham, cheese, condiments, I find mayo and mustard work best
Close sandwitch
Butter the outside of the sandwitch
Throw in a frying pan, allow to brown
Flip, repeat
Voila, you've got heart blockages

Robby's Paella of DOOM-

Onion, 2
Tomato, 2
Saffron
Rice
Shrimp
Mussels - The last 4 all to taste
2 peppers
Milk
Chicken, to taste
Chicken broth
Pan with a lid

Finely slice and dice the onions
Leave to fry in a large pan on a low flame, in a table spoon of oil
Cut up tomatooes and peppers, toss in
Allow to all fry together a bit
Put shrimp in milk in a large bowl, this makes them nice and soft
Start frying your chicken in a seperate pan
Make yourself some chicken broth
Put your rice in the pan
Fill up with enough chicken broth that the rice is saturated.
Add saffron
Mix it up
Everytime the mixture dries up, add more broth
After *sucks on teeth* depends on the pan, takes me about 15 minutes, the rice should be nice and cooked. Throw in your chicken.
Mix up, give 5 minutes.
Take the shrimp and mussels, arrange on the top of the rice. Put the lid on.
Leave, checking to see if its dried up every once in a while. If it does, broth it up a little. Leave for 15 minutes. After that, discard any unopened mussels.

This should all be done on a low flame, except frying the chicken, otherwise it burns.
