Food Gal's mouthwatering take on the Momofuku pork bun.
Local writer Carolyn Jung, posting in her
FoodGal blog, took a crack at recreating the
much-lauded pork buns from the mini culinary empire that is New York's
Momofuku. She used the recipe from the stunning book
Momofuku as her guide, but, to our eyes, it looks like she's achieved a more enticing roast of her pork belly.

Pork bun (with poached, fried egg) at Momofuku Milk Bar, New York.
If Jung could also please make a batch of Momofuku's famed caramelized Corn Flake cereal milk (the recipe is also in the book) and come over, stat, we'll try to swear off Momofuku Milk Bar for good in return. Well, everything but the
crack pie. (Crack may be wack, but it's hard to give up.)
Can't cook or get to New York, but need a Momofuku-style pork bun fix? We happen to think the buns at Heaven's Dog (1148 Mission at Seventh St.) are a pretty worthy substitute. The restaurant even has a vegetarian version for you non-heathens.
