Vietnamese banh bao: fluffy steamed buns with savory pork, Chinese sausage, and eggs.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1.5 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4.5 cups self-rising flour
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 3 links Chinese sausages, sliced on the diagonal
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
  • waxed paper
Instructions:
  • Combine pork, shallots, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
  • Mix self-rising flour, milk, and sugar in a large bowl until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. Cover with cheesecloth and let rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 18 balls, then roll each one into a circle on a floured surface. Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each circle, then top with 2 sausage slices and a quarter of an egg. Fold the edges of the 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, ensuring they are spaced 1 inch apart. Steam with the lid on.
  • Steam the buns until they are fluffy and puffed up, which should take around 30 minutes.
