Bao Buns
Steaming from Frozen
- Line a bamboo or metal steamer with baking paper, or lightly spray the base with oil to ensure that the buns don’t stick.
- Fill a pot one third full of water and bring to the boil.
- Position the buns inside the steamer and place it over the pot of boiling water.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Steam for 6 - 8 minutes, or until the buns are soft and heated all the way through.
Microwaving from Frozen
- Use water to wet all surfaces of the frozen bao bun (this will ensure that the dough doesn’t crack when heated).
- Place bun on a plate in the microwave.
- Heat on high for approximately one minute.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave.
