Bao Zi, Fluffy Steamed Pork Buns (发面包子)
959.5K views on YouTube
So today we wanted to show you how to make Baozi, a.k.a. ‘Bao Buns’ or stuffed steamed buns. Now there’s a lot of different varieties of Baozi dough – we wanted to show you how to make fully risen Baozi, i.e. the sort that you’d often find at breakfast street food joints in China.
So know that this recipe isn’t even close to exhaustive. We only chose one filling – pork. There’s also vegetable, pork and vegetable, beef, chicken… really whatever. We actually cut out a veg Baozi recipe from the video for time reasons, so check out the Reddit post for a recipe for that as well.
As always, the full, detailed recipe is over here on /r/cooking:

Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) 🙂
We’re Steph and Chris – a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China – you’ll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that’s been living in China and loving it for the last eleven years – you’ll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.
This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you’d get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what’s made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients – but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
