Step 1: WASH AND DRY all produce.

Step 2: BRING a steamer to boil. STEAM the Bao buns for 6-7 mins or until fluffy (you can lightly press it, and it should bounce right back up) CAUTION: The steam can be extremely hot. Be very careful when opening the lid.

Step 3: Meanwhile, WARM UP the braised pork in a small pot until it is heated through (ADD a ¼ cup of water if needed).

Step 4: Carefully OPEN each Bao bun. Lightly BRUSH the Bean Curd Sauce on the inside of the Bao.

Step 5: Evenly DISTRIBUTE the pork to each Bao.

Step 6: GARNISH with Pickled Onion,Nut Powder, cilantro and scallion. Enjoy!

Tips: In case you do not have a steamer, you can warm up the Bao buns in a microwave. PLACE the Bao buns on a microwave-safe plate. COVER all the buns with a couple pieces of WET kitchen paper towel. HEAT for 30-45 seconds or until warm and fluffy. (Reheating the Bao in a microwave does dry out the Bao faster. It is recommended to consume the Bao buns as soon as possible when using the microwave heating method.)
