Ingredients
  

For the pickled cabbage

  • 1 small head white cabbage
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

To complete the mini sandwiches

  • 9 small manthou or 6 medium-sized ones
  • 3 Taiwanese sausages depending on their size, you may need more than three sausages
  • 2 peanuts cakes crushed, or 3 tablespoons crushed roasted peanuts tossed with 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • thinly sliced scallions

Instructions
 

Make the pickled cabbage

  • Thinly slice the cabbage. Rinse and drain.
  • Place the cabbage in a pot. Add the rice vinegar, sugar and salt.
  • Uncovered over medium-low heat, cook the cabbage, stirring occasionally, until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Cool.

Prepare the manthou and sausages

  • While the cabbage cooks, place the manthou in a steamer basket and steam until hot and fluffy. Turn the heat off but keep the steamer covered to keep the manthou hot.
  • Cut the sausages into pieces the same size as the manthou. Grill until heated through and shiny with their own fat.

Assemble the sausage buns

  • Split each manthou without cutting all the way through.
  • Stuff each split manthou with drained pickled cabbage, top with a piece of sausage then sprinkle the crushed peanut cake (or sweetened peanut, if you're substituting) and scallions on top.
  • Serve the Taiwanese pork sausage buns immediately.
