Chimei

I bought these bao on @ploopy’s recommendation, and @beckyyy’s recent rave review was the gentle push I needed to dig them out of my freezer! I heated a couple in my rice cooker per the steaming instructions. In my experience, the cook time was on the high end of the range (15 minutes, give or take,) as the bread became soft and springy, but the center was still slightly #frozen before then. They’re a cute size — I can hold 2 in my hand — that works well for a snack or light side dish. The tofu-and-soy-protein filling had a nice chewiness and was slightly saucy. Despite being modeled on mapo #tofu, the buns weren’t really spicy — more sweet and peppery than anything else. They were delightful and delicious, if a bit sweeter than expected, and I’ll happily join my abillion friends in recommending them! The last photo is “the wedge,” for anyone curious about the ratio of bread to filling.

berryveganplanet Yum! Just recently trying bao buns for the 1st time at a restaurant and loving them I’ll have to try these out! Thanks for recommending 😋💚🌱❤️1 likeReply
kyu Of course! You could also try making them at home — they taste even better. The dough is vegan by default and you can stuff them with whatever you like :-) I’ll try to find some pics of stuff I made in the past (when I had a lot more free time!) 1 likeReply
