five spice pulled palm bao | hot for food

[@Camerenyoo9]

Lauren, I’ve been following you for years now. Just gotta say, the fucking quality of your content has improved immensely. Not that it was bad before, but it’s so elevated now. Week after week you not only give us delicious recipes, but BEAUTIFUL videos. Congrats on everything, sis. You deserve it! Love from Chicago 💜

[@hotforfood]

aww thank you thank you. Very much appreciated xo

[@georgiaivanova9179]

I like how surprised and happy are you every time you bite into the thing you make

[@Ketchupgiri]

You can also find frozen versions of the steamed bao buns at most Asian grocery stores if you’re too lazy to make them from scratch! My family always has them in the freezer.

[@pitita585]

That’s so helpful thank you!!! 😍

[@dalemills8052]

Another shortcut is frozen white bread dough. Thaw it. Roll it out and proceed. Just check the ingredients.

[@LifebyMikeG]

BRAVO! Great recipe

[@yh.productions]

well look who it is

[@ymb6987]

Yasssss - awesome seeing you guys here too!

[@frogonmytoe2946]

[@rachelcurl9969]

Wow!!! Love you guys!!

[@marystestkitchen]

I love this kind of steamed bun soooo much

[@niwaleaf]

Mary's Test Kitchen good morning Mary. ☺️💖

[@marystestkitchen]

@@niwaleaf good morning!

[@Lowzenza4]

Woohoo I knew Mary would see this! Can't wait to see your adaptation of this recipe too!

[@veronicavalencia3408]

Mary's Test Kitchen Just to recap, and make sure I got this right: Lauren’s steaming buns are so beautiful!!😏😂

[@shelahphillipsen7019]

Loved the little googly eyes on the poofy bun at the end of the line! So cute!

[@hickszn]

Lol the googly eyes! And chewing noises yay. I made these from Mary’s test kitchen can’t wait to try Hot for foods

[@SarahHam33]

There is no greater feeling than watching Lauren Toyota eating😌

[@HANCHI2Y]

OMG!!! YOU R MAKING TAIWANESE GUA BAO!!!!! You rock it, Lauren!! We can also find many vegan version of gua bao in Taiwan too. And my favorite is filling the bao with braised dried tofu, some veggies, and ofc PEANUT POWDER and CORIANDER!!! You should really try it out, it's so simple but delicious too. Love from Taiwan

[@mangoesandgrapes3073]

lauren eating it is the best part of every video

[@cherylwong87]

Hi Lauren, in case you don't know, a thin layer of oil on the dough can also prevent the bao to stick together. This is how we make "gua bao"

[@TXPRiNCEZZ09]

the bun with the little googly eyes is the quality content I signed up for hahaha

[@lauraleewilliams]

Half of the fun is watching you eat your food bc you get so excited, like I’m HYPED and want to try, too!!

[@megano.3434]

These.. look... INCREDIBLE!!! I'm imagining how they must taste & I'm drooling... lol'ed at the googly-eyed bun!

[@anonymouse692]

11:22 love the camera push in on your reaction! How many times have you blown your own mind lauren Toyota??

[@JJL3EE]

I'm sure someone's already said it... but can someone make a compilation of Laurens first bites. Lol. Its soooo good. Lol

[@anotherbennett6488]

The googly eyes should become a thing! Like in every video put them on one piece of food for the lols. Or is that un-vegan of me, to be personifying my food? Hmm

[@hannahbennett946]

Yes this!!!

[@niwaleaf]

Wow the bao came out so perfect and fluffy!! 😍 I love the use of heart of palm as well. This made me so hungry

[@kathleenswenning9915]

Lauren you are really talented!!!! I've been following you for ages and I feel so so fortunate to have you in my life!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

[@jasminel4175]

I can’t wait until your second book comes out!!!

[@crosamond]

you should make a series showing us the behind the scenes of the recipe developing/testing!!!

[@hotforfood]

sometimes I show on insta stories @hotforfood

[@consciousmoviereviews9730]

I didn't have heart of palms, so I substituted it with jackfuit. The Bao tasted so good!

[@consciousobserver629]

Lauren is such a natural in front of the camera. Total badass.

[@hotforfood]

xo kisses!

[@curiouscamellia5470]

OMG!!! Those little googly eyes killed me!!! SOOOOOO CUTE!

[@pandapoo94]

A quick pickle... a quickle! 😹

[@tiffibean13]

This looks incredible. I wanna try! I absolutely ADORE your palm pork.

[@ymb6987]

Yooo that dough thooough! I am about to impress my damn self when I pull this one off!! That filling is absolute BOMB and the filling idea for the empanadas? Spot ON!!!

[@KCMinMin]

Very lovely Lauren...the buns look yummy and rest of course. Thank you!!

[@Hanzeeeee]

Un-bao-leivable ! 😍

[@derekdraws]

Made these tonight and they were AWESOME! I'd never used heart of palm before and I love the texture! Great recipe!

[@stricklandsue515]

Lauren you make me hungry!!😋 I'm watching this late at night, big mistake. Thanks for posting this recipe!! I love your channel.

[@globalSchelmuffsky]

that's a cool, genuinely new creation. i haven't tried them, i waaay tooo busy these days, but i think the contrast in filling texture and steam bun is going to work out perfectly. really nice idea!!!

[@carolynkren7961]

Lauren, I love your videos so SO much... the food is beautiful, the videography is amazing, you are always equal parts charming and hilarious, and even your background song is so catchy and perfect, I love it! ❤️

[@hannabeth151]

If you throw the flour like you're skipping rocks it leaves the perfect dusting on a counter. 😊 Love the video!

[@harejessica4621]

Hey Lauren ,I’m from China 🇨🇳 And I must say that you did a great job.Those looks so tasty 😋 You should visit China someday! we have so many tasty vegan food here.Even street food🏃‍♀️

[@elizabethm7021]

I hate watching most people eat except for you. I look forward to the eating segment of each vid!

[@SaysSalad]

BABY GOT BAOOO, i have to try these they look soooo good, Bao buns were never even something I got to try as a non-vegan because I never ate pork.

[@samc8623]

When you come here mostly to see Lauren's commentary while she eats :D I do the same thing when I cook food and my boyfriend is just like 'shut up and eat the damn food'

[@annawessman4029]

Two words: NEXT LEVEL!!! OMG, looks SO good! I always wanted to learn how to make a bao. And it actually seems easier than all the other bao recipes I tried to understand. Totally biased, but also the truth: Lauren is by far the genius of vegan eats! And: who doesn't love five spice?! Thanks for being genius and posting on youtube! I love youtuuuuuuuuube!

[@hotforfood]

awwww thanks for supporting and watching. xo

[@bellewitch8225]

You and avant garde vegan are the best

[@chelseataylorvideo]

I love everything you make

[@Becky00931]

Lauren does it again, this looks amazing!

[@robinodowd458]

This looks amazing.

[@aileencarrera1649]

I have got to make this!!! I love bao buns

[@LadyShihita]

I've never pickled carrots, but in my experience red onions need to pickle for at least 12 hours. Well, I'm excited to experiment more with pickeling different veggies and I'll definetely try out whether I like the taste of pickled carrots already after one hour like you suggested.

[@ashiliemartinez9416]

They look soooooo yummy !!!

[@beckymuir75]

Those look amazing!!

[@mahrooohaf860]

Gosh I love how when she tastes the food, she goes all "MMMMMMMMMMMM" 😍

[@kimcote9964]

Those look soooo beautiful and good.. Oh my! Love you Lauren!!!

[@moonshine4049]

Gosh I wished I was your neighbor!! Looks sooo good!!

[@devinsmith1309]

GIRL. YES. Right across the street from my apartment there is a place that does cheap bao on Tuesday nights. All my friends go and I can never have them because the buns aren't vegan. And I've been dreaming about them. THANK YOU.

[@ashamanzanares2833]

Best cooking channel on KZbin! Love your creativity. Been here for awhile and always look forward to Wednesday’s! ❤️❤️

[@ashleys5453]

HOLY FAWK.. these look INCREDIBLE.

[@lilmonster90210]

I was literally so satisfied watching this. I saved it to watch it while eating my pathetic work lunch !

[@sashawake7752]

Can’t wait to make these for Chinese New Year. I showed my mom (she’s not vegan but lives by your cookbook) and she’s extremely excited too. Thanks for all the great recipes ☺️❣️

[@diana8321]

Holy Moly! These are visually stunning and my mouth is watering. I'll take a trip to Chinatown for these.

[@muminekmuminkovy3116]

Looks perfect! I would just eat the filling with rice but need to find substitute for the palm, I can't get in in Czech republic!

[@t.1674]

"You can also use a panty hose! A clean pair of pantyhose" *oh.... Rolls pantyhose back onto legs" lol!!! 😂 God I hope people use clean ones!

[@riversduggan8223]

If you can’t eat all the buns at once is it best to steam it all at once or just save the rest of the dough and steam it later?

[@yes2542]

Rivers Duggan I think steam then cool then freeze. Then defrost when ready. Just make sure it’s super airtight. Maybe take a straw and blow air out of bag. Or just do your best to get air out with hands (I’m a bit paranoid about freezer burn haha 😁).That’s what I do with challah (braided Christmas or Chanukah bread) and they sell Bao in the store frozen. Why not?

[@hollyjollyy]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love bao so much! Thank you for this mouth watering recipe, can't wait to make it!❤

[@tiinah5602]

Love the googly eyes! 😂

[@SUPABOOOMB]

[@julietteraines8256]

[@lilychoate2813]

Thanks for the palm heart tip. I don't find jackfruit here in my country.

[@dianemorris9179]

Yum! Can you steam without the basket? I don't have one of those.

[@EmiGBB]

Idea: you should make a vegan baked brie!

[@willowberry8719]

Absolutely love your recipes although I’m finding it difficult to print since you changed the format of your webpage. Do you know why there is a problem please?

[@hotforfood]

the print button is very visible! Then it just formats it without pics

[@dimyssg5361]
