My kitchen adventure - the bao edition



Hello friends! As you know, this whole #stayathome period has resulted in many kitchen adventures for your gal here. I think I must have compressed 10 years of casual cooking into 2 months. *LOL*


Last month, I ventured into the bao territory - the white fluffy buns that contain either a sweet or savoury filling. Given how gung-ho I've been lately about trying new things, you know I tried both. *winks*


My first try was the salted egg yolk custard bun...I love the ones with the lava-like custard flowing out when you bite into them....so you can't oversteam them otherwise you will just have a cooked custard bun. It got the thumbs up from the family so I ventured into the meat territory a few days later. Now for this one, I needed to fold the buns so that they had some pretty pleats along the edges and a small hole in the centre for the steam to pass through as the meat cooks. Let's just say we had many ugly buns....like 35 of them. *LOL*


Okay...let's talk about the elephant in the room. My titlework for this piece. I bought a haircare set sometime ago and it was called Bountifully Bouncy...which I thought was pretty apt for the bountiful (filled with sweet/savoury goodness) and bouncy (soft and fluffy) buns. Humour me....hahaha!

  3. Love your adventurous cooking spirit and the results. My family would love it if I could make char sui bao. You've encouraged me to search for a recipe.

  4. So glad you explained the title, because my very first thought was, "my goodness that is so clever, I wonder how she did that"! That really is perfect for your layout. Just makes you smile, and the whole thing is adorable. And can I say, I'm sooooo impressed with your cooking skills. I've never had a bao, either sweet or savory, and I sure wish I could try!
