It may take a while to make this, but the bun is so very moist and delicious it’s worth it. Since this recipe makes about 20 buns, I recommend you make tons of buns on weekend and freeze them.

In the past weekend, my boyfriend and I were in a very productive mood. And hungry. So we decided to make steam pork buns while the air is still cold out. But it’s boring to just make steam buns… so we started thinking what characters were mainly white and easy to make.
My boyfriend was looking through the games he owns and came up with two characters. Moogle from Final Fantasy, and Boo Ghost from Super Mario Brothers.
