Bao buns are steamed buns stuffed with sweet red bean paste filling. They are a light and fluffy treat and are very popular in China. Bao buns are a little sweeter than the well-known dumplings and they are served for breakfast, as a small snack and are served with other dishes. Bao buns are traditionally made to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Bao buns are made of a soft yeast dough and a sweet filling with adzuki beans. Serve the soft and fluffy buns still hot and straight from the steamer! User generated recipes have not been re-tested by Kenwood.
