While I generally think that all of the hype around Momofuku Noodle Bar is well deserved, I have only begun to understand it's true beauty. At it's core, Momofuku is a kick-ass casual neighborhood restaurant. I've recently moved a few blocks from Momofuku and can tell you first hand that the charm of this restaurant is being able to pop in spontaneously, sometimes during odd hours of the day, to slurp down a $12 bowl of porky noodle goodness or better yet, have a few of the pork buns for $8.
I love these pork buns. Slices of what I presume to be pork belly have a slightly crispy exterior, yet are layered with soft, flavorful pork meat and a thin layer of fat that adds a flavorful richness and gently reminds you not to eat too many. These luscious slices of pork are offset by a crunchy, gently pickled cucumber, a soft bun, a few sliced scallions and a sweet soy -like sauce. I like to dose my pork bun with the sriracha they have on the table for an extra kick.




i had these when i was in NYC! :)
i have to say though...that i ate at The Fatty Crab and preferred the ones I had there to the version at Momofuku.

I swear the pork buns at Momofuku are seasoned with magic and fairy dust. They are one restaurant dish I wouldn't dare try to duplicate at home.
I'm going to have to get to Fatty Crab and try theirs as well... I'm intrigued.

Well, anything that numbs your eyes has to have a load of bad ingredients in them. Just because these companies are trying to green up their image doesn't mean they are really moving forward. I think that the care of our babies has to be the first and foremost. Glad you shared this with so many.
