Fluffy Stuffed Tuna Buns & Curried Turkey Buns

This bun is emblematic of the hybrid food culture in Hong Kong because the filling is essentially a Western tuna salad, made by simply tossing canned tuna with mayo. As a result, ingredients in this recipe can all be easily found at any grocery stores abroad.

Because we had ground turkey left in the fridge, we improvised and made a curried turkey filling as well. The curried turkey version is inspired by samosas, originally from South Asia but are commonly found in local Hong Kong bakeries. Hong Kong has a sizable South Asian community because of the city’s colonial history.

Eggplant and Ground Meat Stir-fry

This dish and variations of it is very common in Chinese home kitchens. Not only is it flavourful, it is also extremely easy to make. While I used ground turkey in this recipe because that’s what I had in the fridge, but the more traditional way is to use ground pork.
