Boa bun filling

Once you learn how easy it is to make fluffy steamed bao buns, you won’t be able to stop! Baking powder AND yeast supercharge the buns, meaning less waiting time so you can enjoy them in under an hour. Fill with Korean fried chicken, grilled chicken or pulled pork for a fab family-friendly fakeaway. I like to make the filling while the buns rest in the steamer for 30 minutes.

Adapted from Asian Dumplings, by Andrea Nguyen. After multiple tests, I got the best results using a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to mix the bun dough. Using a food processor will mix the dough a bit faster, but will likely result in denser buns. You can also mix the dough by hand for good results. Both slow cooker and Instant Pot instructions are listed below.
