Banh Bao image

I'm a Vietnamese living in Indiana who had to find a recipe for one of my favorite Vietnamese snacks, banh bao. They are a variation on the Chinese cha siu bao (Chinese pork buns). I would like to thank Houston Wok for providing Ms. SkimmyJeans' moist filling recipe and Miss Adventure[at]home for a tasty bun recipe. Combined, this is my ultimate banh bao recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground pork
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 ½ tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 ½ cups self-rising flour
1 ½ cups milk
¾ cup white sugar
3 links Chinese sausages, sliced on the diagonal
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
waxed paper

Steps:

  • Mix pork, shallots, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce together in a large bowl. Let mixture marinate in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
  • Combine self-rising flour, milk, and sugar in another large bowl; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Cover dough with cheesecloth; let rest, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 18 balls. Roll out each ball into a circle with a rolling pin on a floured work surface. Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center; top with 2 sausage slices and an egg quarter. Gather the edges of each circle together like a coin purse; twist and pinch to seal the bun.
  • Cut waxed paper into eighteen 2-inch squares. Place each bun on a waxed paper square. Arrange 1 inch apart in a steamer; cover with lid.
  • Steam buns until puffed up, about 30 minutes.
