The steamed chinese bao buns: Have you ever had the pleasure of trying steamed chinese bao buns? They are incredibly soft. Have a texture that comes from steaming. Unlike breads they don’t have a crispy exterior or the usual color. They make up for it with their delightful sweetness and deliciousness! To whip up a batch of these treats you’ll need a steamer. I highly recommend using a bamboo steamer as it allows you to savor flavors from the East without needing to travel there.
