Ooey-Gooey Sesame Steamed Baos 黑芝麻包
AuthorYun Zhang JohnCategoryBread, SweetsSteamed baos or buns are super versatile in Chinese cuisine.
You can have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack
You can fill them with meat, vegetables, noodles or sweets.
You can shape them in a million different ways…it’s one of those perfect food packages, at least for me!
One of my favourite variation is sesame filled steamed buns with a ooey gooey centre. The soft white steam bread exterior is a complete contrast from the runny sticky black sesame paste interior. These buns go great with a cup of tea, eat them for breakfast or as a snack...just eat them warm out of the steamer!
Minimal Ingredients
You only need 3 or 4 ingredients for the filling, the key is the method. Simply follow the instructions and in the right order and you can also make these hard-to-resist buns at home. All you'll need are time and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
