To prepare, simply remove the pork buns from their packaging. They can be heated in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, they can be microwaved according to package directions, usually for 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are heated evenly. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the buns tough. They are best served hot and fresh.
