Since you’re now a bun-steaming expert, you might as well level up the sausage too. Split it down the middle, then pan-fry it in a little butter until the edges get crispy. The contrast between that crunchy, savory skin and the pillowy steamed bun is chef’s kiss. Or just boil it—I’m not here to judge your life choices.
Add some mustard, maybe some sauerkraut, or go full Chicago with neon relish and sport peppers. The bun is your canvas, and you just turned it into a fluffy masterpiece. Go forth and eat like the royalty you are.
Now go steam a bun. You’ve got this. And if it all goes wrong, just pretend you meant to eat it as a hot dog salad. We won’t tell anyone.
