The Best Steamed Bao Buns
Ingredients
  • You’ll need four sets of ingredients to make these bao buns. Here’s what to gather for each.
  • subheading: For the bao buns:
  • Active dry yeast - You can use loose or a packet of yeast.
  • Warm water - Make sure it is lukewarm or slightly warmer to prevent accidentally killing the yeast.
  • All-purpose flour - I strongly recommend using all purpose instead of bread or other flours.
  • Granulated sugar - We use organic, but you can use any white sugar you prefer.
  • Salt
  • Baking powder
  • Oil - You’ll need to divide the oil.
  • Squares of baking paper - This will help prevent them from sticking.
  • subheading: To make the pickled veggies, you’ll need:
  • Water
  • Rice vinegar - You can use white if you cannot find rice vinegar.
  • Granulated sugar - We use organic, but non-organic can work too.
  • Salt
  • Veggies - We use julienne cut cucumber and carrots and sliced jalapeno peppers.
  • subheading: For the tofu filling, you’ll need:
  • Soy sauce- you can use  low sodium
  • Rice vinegar - You can use white vinegar if you prefer.
  • Maple syrup - hint of sweetness
  • Sambal oelek - This is optional and used to taste.
  • Sesame oil- Add a nice nutty flavor
  • Oil - We use a light tasting oil that can withstand high heat.
  • Firm tofu - The tofu needs to be pressed and sliced.
  • subheading: For serving the buns, you’ll need:
  • Hoisin sauce  -  A must!
  • Chopped roasted peanuts - You can use salted or unsalted.
  • White and black sesame seeds
  • Cilantro - You’ll need to chop the cilantro as a garnish.
