I think the Bao look amazing! The fact that they dont look "Perfect" is what makes them perfect to me. This is real homecooking and I think that gives it so much more character
I kinda want to do bao roulette now: one bacon and egg, one PB&J, one hoisin pork, one curry... and then serve them all up at once like every flavour beans
There are no ugly bao, because they all look the same in our stomachs. I made some last week with leftover shrimps and veggies and it turned out amazing (I can’t make the pleats either, but because I am not filming it, I don’t need to).
In a Chinese cooking manga I read, they said Bao should be soft and fluffy like down quilt. The most common Bao I have seen in Thailand are the red pork and the mince pork fillings .
my family always makes ground pork with onion + a quarter boiled egg + slice of chinese sausage bao, so good for a quick breakfast, we bulk make them, so we wrap them in saranwrap and refrigerate the finished product (or freeze them, just not too long in freezer as the egg goes a little wack if too long) and to rewarm, we pop one in the microwave for 1 minute and it's basically a mini re-steamer, watch as the plastic expands away from the bao, grab it, rip it open and away from the bao and breakfast is server xD It was fun watching you explore making your own bao!
This is accurate behavior for every person I've done an early morning shift in a kitchen with. There's just something very surreal about being somewhere at 6:00 am and starting to shred lettuce or whatever. I very much appreciate that you did it this way instead of making the dough in advance. I think it makes cooking a little more accessible than the usual chef cooking in a perfectly clean kitchen stuff, because dumping in a white granular substance before thinking "oh no was this salt" for a split second is about as real as it gets, and just opening the fridge and going "oh yeah I've got X meat leftover, let's use that" is how 70% of really great home cooking starts.
If you don't want as much of a sweet flavor from the sugar, cornstarch also works to feed the yeast (I've heard yeast can break it down easier, but that's only second hand info, so take it with a grain of salt)
Hey! I made these yesterday (albeit with a sweet filling) and they are awesome! Thanks for the recipe! All the recipes I found before asked for the dough to rest overnight, I'm happy that I tried this, it was just as fluffy as I hoped. Now I just need to find a better size for me, mine came out way too big :D
Hey morning chef first off congrats on 200k subs i knew you could do it so glad to have been here from the beginning and watching the channel grow just waiting and ready for 300k. Secondly we got a bao food shop recently in our H-mart (local Asain market here in NC) and they have such good food especially the pork belly buns.
I made these two days ago! Vegetarian version, used some leftover tofu and kimchi, added some other veg too. Took longer than I expected 😅 but was really good, thank you for the recipe! (The written one as well)
I never had bao...i could only see it on tv...while dying inside because my stomach cries to have it...ughhh thank you for sharing this, i really wanna make it - ima try to get yeast today lol. Oh and i didn't know you could make mayo at home either xD
Hmmm. I use a bit different balance of ingredients, but I proof for three hours and let each portion re-rise for half an hour before filling. Never tried rolling the dough like that. Made a batch for my folks a week ago and came up short on my bbq pork, so I did exactly what this video is all about! Made nine buns total, but the pork filled only seven. The final two got cheddar cheese and a hard-boiled egg each, with garlic and paprika! They thought I was insane, but this is the true nature of the Bao. Put whatever s*** you want in it!
Random note 'Bao' in cantonese translates to bread :D 'How do u have 1?' Answer: U don't it starts as one and the moment u find a tasty one it suddenly becomes a few baskets quickly if their cheap enough >
Hello CHEFPK - There is a CHEF movie you must watch and react to - Cook Up a Storm , released in 2017 . the Fish battle segment I watched first , which lured me into watching the movie !
Woooow Those are the biggest Bao I've ever seen, you know it reminded me of the ones from kunfu panda 2, the dragon warrior size buns, thanks for the recipe, have a good day, we hope you and your family are well
get it to 90 degrees Celsius, (my brain going wait a minute isn't that like 200ish degrees Fahrenheit) wait no, 90 degrees Fahrenheit, do not get it to 90 degrees Celsius. me out loud despite no one around me having context to what I'm on about: yup that checks out now.
That's not you in Japan chef! That's Brazilian soccer player Edit: Combining live commentary with voice over advices is top notch imo and would love to see it in future videos.
You just made College dorm BAO's. Personally i like my steamer better {LIDL} it has clear baskets making you able to see the items you're steaming. And yes deflated Bao's are a common occurrence if you do not know how to make em.
7:50 wow you have surpassed YSAC's cutting skills Also I'm watching this at 3am, stores are closed, and I dont even have yeast at home to try making some for myself :\
Kimchi and samgeupsal meat filled steamed bun is great too btw. EDIT: Samgeupsal is basically korean pork belly but thicc and juicy, instead of thin and crunchy.
🤤Let's hope I won't forget AGAIN to buy these steam things, because these look delicious ... Wait how long do they need to steam? Because I didn't really get it
