Baos or Street food at home by Ricky Mandle, Chef and Co-Founder Delicious & Sons — Delicious & Sons

For those who don’t recognize the word “Bao”, it’s a popular street food from China which consists of a stuffed steamed bun. Delicious and visually appealing, they are small and disc-shaped folded in half and stuffed, the steamed dough is soft and without a crust. Traditionally they are steamed in a bamboo steamer and stuffed with sliced pork and pickled vegetables, although any filling can be used.

Ricky cooks two versions of baos for us, perfect for a dinner at home with friends or for a picnic when you feel like travelling between the flavors of Asia and the Mediterranean.

You can find cooked baos (just the bun) in the frozen section of most Asian supermarkets.

The Baos Ricky cooked are:

Chicken or Tofu Baos with Black truffle & Mushroom Sauce

Peking Duck Bao with Sweet Black Olive Spread

Wild Mushroom Baos with Porcini Mushroom Spread

If your travel plans take you to New York, Washington, Las Vegas, Sydney, or Toronto, it’s a worth visiting one of David Chang’s Momofuku restaurants to drool over the menu and the baos they offer.

In Barcelona try Paco Perez’s wonderful Bao Bar.
