They're super easy to create and a great dish to make with friends :)

Pan Fried Bao

Begin by making the dough by mixing flour, yeast, and sugar together with a whisk. then add the water and knead until a smooth ball forms.

rest for 1-1.5 hrs until it doubles in size

Filling: mix everything together until combined

once dough has finished resting, roll out and section into smaller balls (this recipe yields 12-15), and put filling inside and seal.

You can seal by pleating or by just squishing it like how Maloy does!

Heat a pan with some oil and add bao onto the pan. Toast until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, then add the 8 tbsp water and cover and steam. Cook until bao are fluffy and water evaporates (add more if needed)

Serve with chili oil, soy sauce, green scallions, sesame seeds and anything else you'd like!
