Panipopo


Panipopo is a Polynesian dessert that consists of lovely, soft bread dough covered with a sweetened coconut sauce and baked.  The sauce soaks into the outside of the bread giving it a soft, sticky, coconut exterior.  It's so good! My description is not doing it justice.  I make it every time I make Chicken Curry Buns because it's a great way to use up leftover bread dough and coconut milk and because it is delicious.

Curry Chicken Buns


I have long been a fan of Asian dumplings.  Unfortunately, they can be hard to find in many places across the US, which means I have to learn to make my own.  I love these curry buns, and they are one of my favorite meals.  Spicy curry chicken is wrapped in a soft, light bun and then brushed with a honey glaze, that little bit of sweetness contrasting to the spicy filling within.  They are amazing.
