So today was Barney's birthday, and we hadn't got him a cake...so I decided to knock him (and myself) up something special from my 'experimental' kitchen - and make him a Birthday Burger.
Through my backchannels, I'd gotten myself some 'Dampfnudeln' - Asian steamed buns. They've been quite boring really and I've been looking for something different to do with them.
I also had some Bockwurst leftover.
So, as I'm known to do, time to experiment with pretty much everything that was left in the fridge :)
I've been wanting some pork buns, dim sum style, so seeing as though Bockwurst is pretty much pork, this should surely work!
Step 2: After the buns have been steaming for a while, drop the Bockwurst (only needed one for 2 burgers) in the water to warm up, while the buns continue steaming (efficient cooking!)
Step 3: Give it about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Remove buns, let to cool and dry slightly. Remove Bockwurst and chop into little bits.
Step 5: Add everything that is left in the fridge - Hot mustard, Sambal oelek, Currywurst Sauce, Mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Stir and fry.
Step 6: Assemble!!
Step 7: Chuck a candle in, sing happy birthday and watch the little doggie enjoy. We shared and I can say that I was quite pleased with the result. Barney was very happy with it too!
