Unagi Puff

Unagi Puff with BBQ Sauce

What kind of delicious looking animal is this one ?

First of all, it's not exactly Chinese. It's a Dim Sum (actually, Dim Sim can be literally translated as "Snacks"), but it's a fusion between Japanese eel (Unagi) and Chinese pastry, the puff and the sauce (you should pretty familiar with this one, it's the general purpose Chinese BBQ sauce).

What it tastes like ?

If you love Chinese BBQ Pork and you like fluffy pastry, then I imagine you will love this one.

Recommended ?

Yes. But chances are you won't find it in most Chinese restaurants. This is a fusion invention by some creative chefs, something you may try to create at home. If you know how to bake, just get a can of Unagi from an Asian supermarket, wrap it up using a greasy dough (I forgot the official name for this kind of fatty dough) that give you the puffy or fluffy sensation when you put it in your mouth ... It's fatty but its tastes good.

I'll try to create a recipe ... Just like most things on earth, good culinary is all about creativity.
