Chinese steamed bao

My friends Lily, Jack, Megan, and I made Chinese steamed buns a few weeks (but let’s be honest, it’s been more like a month) ago and I’m just finally getting around to posting the photos. (On a side note, I think I broke my SLR because all my photos are turning out blurry! Whoops )

We made 3 kinds of filling: chicken and shitake mushroom, Char-siu style TVP (vegan!), and lop cheong (Chinese sausage). They were all beyond delicious – I’m pretty sure we ate our way through the first batch in less than 5 minutes after they came out of the steamer, which is probably why I don’t have any photos of the chicken and lop cheong versions ;) Just kidding…but seriously.
