Mini Steamed Pork Buns

I love steamed pork buns (also known as bao). The filling is flavorful and the bun is soft and fluffy.

I had a potluck to attend so I thought it would be a great idea to make some. Since they were going to be served as appetizers, I made mini ones.

The steamed buns were served with individually-portioned soy-based sauce and plated on shiso leaves.

Here's a pork-filled mini bun prior to steaming. Notice the flour on the exterior.

More formed buns

After steaming, the surface looks shiny.

I made some with holes (back tray) and some without the holes (front tray).

A closer look at the mini buns without a hole ...

... and with a hole on top

Since I was in charge of the appetizers, I thought I'd also make some lumpia. Will post on this next time.

I would love to hear from you, so please drop me a line below. That's all for now.

Bon appetit!
