#12 Steamed Buns with Ramen + Tripe

The beautiful thing about Vietnamese left overs is that all of the ingredients are stored separately. So, say you have extra tripe and mint, you can use them later on in a completely different fashion. Today I used some left-over tripe, ramen, and bean sprouts to make a meat filling that I stuffed into home-made steam buns. To be honest, the dough didn't rise as I would have liked so the end product was a bit too doughy for my liking.

Oh yeah... I sliced up heirloom tomatoes and added them for some extra sweetness.
