I love it when a recipe is both incredibly easy and delicious! For this popular Chinese dish, we’re going to cheat a little by using Pillsbury Grands, which are available everywhere at your local grocery store. Easier than making it from scratch! Just steam them and stuff them with just about anything! I’ve pocketed these with shiitake mushrooms and other sautéed veggies for this particular recipe, but it can also be stuffed with your favorite protein. Dig in for a quick snack, or a meal!

- Cut buns in half, but not completely through, to form a pocket. Stuff buns with vegetable mixture and serve immediately on a platter.
