How to Make Bao Buns with Step-by-Step Photos

These spicy kung pao chicken Steamed Buns is Wow Bao’s copycat recipe. Bao ( also know as Baozi in Chinese) is a type of yeast-leavened filled steamed buns. The bao dough is made from scratch, proofed, and then any filling variations can be used for the stuffing, then prepared buns are often steamed. In this recipe I’ve used spicy kung pao chicken as a stuffing ( or use minced soy and chicken lettuce wraps (using homemade hoisin sauce) recipes can also be used as a filling for the Bao, These recipes are available on the blog). I’ve proofed the bao dough ( In 1 hour) and steamed it ( In 10 minutes) using the Instant pot. Kung pao chicken is also made from scratch, so easy to make, and absolutely tasty filling for the bao buns. These Chinese cuisine steamed buns can also be served for breakfast, or for any meal. Recipe includes a complete guide, proofing the dough with Instant Pot in different modes, and counter top method, steaming with IP and stove top, kung pao recipe, stepwise pictures and video.
