About
Bao (Chinese steamed buns) has been enjoyed in Asia for hundreds of years, and its influence spread to many other countries. These days it’s a popular menu item in diverse restaurants everywhere.
In this class, you'll master the making of bao (steamed bun) which can be used with different fillings, some that may be in your repertoire already.
First you'll learn to prepare the bao dough, from mixing and kneading to proofing, to achieve the perfect pillowy texture. Then you'll practice rolling and shaping it, then steaming in a bamboo steamer. While the dough is rising, we’ll make the fillings of Five Spice Chicken and a tofu version.
You'll wrap up the bao-making experience by enjoying the tasty filled bao, accompanied with pickles, spicy mayo, and a refreshing drink.
On the menu:
- Bao (steamed buns)
- Five Spice Chicken
- Five Spice Tofu
- Carrot and Daikon Pickles
