How to Make Perfect Steamed Bao Buns (Chicken Baozi Recipe)

[@domif.b.7657]

I made these yesterday and followed your instructions to the T. Everyone at the table was delighted by the taste and texture. Absolutely amazing!

[@lisahinton9682]

I've said it many times, but you're such a good teacher, Mandy. You explain things as if we have no idea what we are supposed to do, and that is the best way to teach, since some of your audience are professional cooks, and some are just venturing into the kitchen for the first time. I just love your style. As usual, this food looks so dang good. I really cannot wait to try making these.

[@zeus-bx9xw]

Clever young lady.

[@saurabhdharmadhikari4874]

True

[@PrettyFourU1]

Exactly 😂

[@peppermintgirl572]

Yesssss. I agree 100% You said it perfectly….😊🎉❤

[@tonykan4554]

How much flour is a good starting point?

[@robertlee4172]

One of my 'go to' channels, for authentic Chinese cooking techniques. I love how Mandy explains why we should not open the lid after the process is complete. It's important to follow tried and true methods.

This is called SIOPAO in the Philippines! The Filipino Chinese used to sell this when I was a child!!! I can't forget how good they were, and how nicely they were made, like that of yours! Thanks For teaching us, again! You're a Chinese Goddess!

[@suzanne4504]

The Philipinos use a shredded barbecue pork for the filling. Yummo.

[@williamsduran3232]

Can I just say her English is amazing and so is the way she explains everything.

[@MrChiefMcleod]

This was one of my favorite things to eat growing up, but they've been increasingly difficult to find (without being too expensive). I've seen other recipe videos out there, but yours is by far the easiest to follow. I love the tips along the way, as well as the reasonings behind them. Time to binge more of your videos and add to the list of things I want to try my hand at!

[@AndyRooney2001]

Mandy I love your videos and have been making Asian dishes for many decades. You are a joy to watch and your own cooking tips are sooo useful! Thank you for being so informative and helpful for novice cooks and professional chefs as well! You are an asset to KZbin 😊😊!

[@paulchan4944]

Thanks!

[@cabji]

I like the production of this channel's video. It's like a proper cooking show on TV. not the jolty cut cut cut ADHD editing style of most KZbinrs. Gonna try making bao buns.

[@russelldavis2476]

Because of my wife's health I've had to learn how to cook. Big step for a older man. That being said I have been thinking cornbread and I want to try this one . Thanks for putting this one out.

[@elithluxe7568]

You are an amazing supportive husband

[@Olga-t]

Нехай Ваша дружина одужує!!!

[@midsfb]

Respect

[@zeoDElited]

You are the greatest teacher!!! This is the first time I understand why/how to use yeast and I'm 69 years old! Thank you!!! I'm excited to try this!

[@michaelb.42112]

OH MY GOD, this is like having the keys to Paradise. Pork/ Chicken, Beef Buns are the 9th wonder of the world.

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

@Souped Up Recipes • Mandy: You are terrific! Not only did you do a wonderful video with clear instructions and great photography, your description box contained the recipe and instructions. I love the fact you included WHY you do some of the steps, like taking the air from the wrapper dough and adding chicken stock to the meat mixture slowly. Your link to the blog shows everything clearly and with photos. To top it off, you included the storage tips on freezing. Everything is truly excellent, of the highest quality! I'm so glad this recipe came up in my feed. I can't wait to try it.

[@edmorris5007]

Oh my, Mandy! These Steamed Buns are just incredible! I would share a picture, if I could…. Thank you for another amazing Recipe! The Chinese 5 Spice Seasoning really takes these to another level!

[@fmt_Guåhan]

Gosh Mandy...I've been with your channel when you only had 50 subscribers. How excited you were! I have learn many wonderful ways to cook from you. I'm an old gal, but I appreciate anything learned. Many Blessings! ❤

Благодарю дорогая. Столько полезных советов. Я как раз сегодня готовлю булочки на пару. 🎉❤

[@susanphillips944]

What a wonderful teacher you are!!!!! I look forward to more seeing videos. Keep them coming.

[@EmmelenePillay-pp5md]

Every recipe of yours I watched..I went I made it..they come out perfect every time..people love my chilli oil..going to make this today...❤❤❤

[@martijnbuunk]

Lol, the word Chilli Oil makes me want to make some 😂😂😂

[@johnwatkis-jones5914]

I love your videos. I've always had varied outcomes with steamed bao. But with your recipe, 100% perfect every time. Thank you x

[@cauteleuse]

Tried it today with a friend. First time making it and it went quite well. Thks for all the tips

Thank you for this yummy recipe!!! 😍🫶🏼🥰

[@angus-eats]

Hi Souped Up Recipes. Thank you very much for the recipe for these delicious buns. I am going to try a variation and include diced Bamboo shoots, and Lotus Roots. I am also going to include some Lap Chong. Many thanks for sharing! 🥰

[@Narcaes]

This was a joy to watch. You’re an excellent teacher. Thanks!

[@nessnixtony]

I cook A LOT of Asian food and have watched and read a lot in order to get specific techniques down. Still, a few things have eluded me (where others don't explain the why or don't show all the steps) - until your video! Thank you SO much. I'm off to try some of them now. I'm a new follower but I am SO excited to have found you.

[@adolatnurmatova5328]

I downloaded video looong time ago and never had chance to make steamed buns. Today I was checking my downloads and faced to recepy. Made dough and went to shopping to get stuffing ingredients. It took 2 hours to make them, but result was WAW ❤ THANKS ❤

[@Olga-t]

Щиро дякую Вам за рецепт!!! Сьогодні отримала пароварку, я її давно шукала. Про баоцзи дізналась із фільмів, дуже хочу приготувати.

[@johnpluta1768]

I appreciate the tip involving how to freeze them. Especially if the wrapper has yeast or not.

[@adamatemymuffin9783]

i became super obsessed with these during my visit to Kanai Ward! their recipe is the best

[@ngoisaomai2012]

To be honest, I was not interested of Chinese food, but today I m so happy to know you and watch many your recipes, I really love it, thank you so much for sharing, love from Australia 🥰🥰🥰

[@CravingGetaways]

I made these last night and I think you’ve unlocked a new obsession for me. This recipe was delightful. I plan on making baozi very frequently from now on 😅

[@martijnbuunk]

Im going to discover today, I'll grind my own chicken for the filling and maybe doing a batch with pork and use the same ingredients for the seasoning. We can get these snacks every Friday on the market square where I live but nowadays they Pretty expensive, like 4 euro for a single bun... Got me thinking of buying a bakfiets (a typical Dutch thing) and sell these for 3 euro each 😂😂😂

[@jennycolacino2088]

I’m learning slowly but the way you explain how is excellent!

[@faryalfairy9227]

Such a great teacher you are. Heads off to you sis

[@ingoatd]

I love how you explain the steps! It's so detailed and precise!

[@shairoonramesar]

You're the best and teacher that explains how to make these foods so easy

[@lefurevelyne8728]

Merci pour le temps et les explications donnés. Depuis très longtemps je voulait apprendre à le faire .Mais je ne trouvais pas les recettes traduites dans ma langue. Alors , merci de penser à nous tous. Bonne continuation. Je vais de ce pas les faire et régaler ma famille. Amicalement

[@aaroncutting]

This has to be one of the most thorough cooking channel Excellent instructions!

[@Lamturnik]

Thank you for the valuable lessons, Mandy!

[@dc33333]

brilliant Mandy best recipe there is. no salt in the bao dough helps!!! Definitely a lot of testing behind this recipe. Thank You

[@edwinaweinberg7948]

Best teacher ever!

[@davidhaley8542]

Dear Mandy, I fell in love with Dim Sum on a trip to San Francisco in 1979. SF has some fantistic authentic Dim Sum restaurants. After that, I began to collect all the Dim Sum recipe books I could find (Rhoda Yee was my first and still most beloved) and to make these treats. Later, I began to create my own recipes. Your videos add to my now extensive Dim Sum repertoire. I just love your presentation, especially "Hi, everyone" and "Let's get started." I've already tried some of your recipes, and they are all wonderful. I live in the French countryside, and I cannot find quite a few ingredients locally. Some of them I find in the nearest city; others I grow in my large garden. In any case, my spouse and I always look forward to my having the time to make Dim Sum. We usually eat Dim Sum as a delicious, relaxed dinner, instead of a tea lunch, and I usually produce 18 different Dim Sum dishes that I can serve over several evenings, each evening having 10 to 12 dishes and maintaining good variety. Please keep giving all of us the benefit of authentic recipes and techniques. I particularly love Spiced Beef -- beef shank stewed with spices, cooled, thinly sliced, served with an aspic of the cooking juices, and garnished with cilantro. I would love to watch your take on this recipe. I would also like to see your take on the steamed Dim Sum version of Lemon Chicken. Love you!

[@susieangelo6410]

@David Haley, I have all 3 Rhoda Yee's books myself, but "Classic Deem Sum" (Recipes from Yank Sing Restaurant, San Francisco) by Henry Chan, Yukiko Haydock & Bob Haydock is an excellent one for your collection.

[@davidhaley8542]

@@susieangelo6410 I have that one in my collection, but I did not know that Rhoda has published two others. Thank you for letting me know. I must look for those; I want to collect every Dim Sum book ever published in English.

[@KarenMarrero]

Wow that is amazing!

[@williamcameron1831]

i made this today, the filling was absolutly delicious!

[@hansdampf4055]

As always explained in all details very vividly. In addition, it also looks super delicious. With these ingredients, it must taste good!

[@maryreneejohnson2590]

Very simple and clear directions. Great job

[@iantheroman1016]

I was about to make steamed buns tomorrow after your previous recipes and these tips will definitely help! Thank you!

[@paulhowes5094]

adds a whole next level there. What she did with the chicken was off the hook "gelatinized"

[@MrCmcag1]

I was going to wait until I got a bamboo steamer, but after watching her, I'll give it a shot today. Actually, I have some left over uncased Thai Lao sausage that Ill use and do some fusion thing. We'll see how it goes. 😋

[@Melanatedbarbie1]

I've watched seven other videos and yours is the best period. I will definitely be trying your recipe.🎉

[@gracebock2900]

Will have to make chicken baozi very soon.Thank you Mandy.You're a great inspirational teacher!

[@nafisahbolhassan2065]

May I know the amount of flour used for this recipe?

[@woomnelle]

Maybe you used to much flour

[@gayatribankeshwar618]

Wow, what a lovely recipe, thankyou! I was looking for an authentic recipe, wow.

[@conniemandel1150]

Thank you. You explain it step by step and very clearly and easy to understand

[@janedoe2859]

Hello I just started my first job, and I love all of your recipes because they are so meal prep friendly and allow me to take my lunch to work and have wonderful dishes to eat in the break room!

[@vinaaddo7539]

You are such a brilliant teacher.. why I'm I now seeing your videos. Made perfectly ❤❤❤

[@colinpinard3209]

I got hooked on these as a kid growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. I think I'll try your recipe with pork , thanks

[@Alina-po1zj]

I made this today. I changed the receipt a little. I don't have a steemer, so I baked them in the oven. They are DELICIOSSSSS!!!! I can't stop eating!!!!

[@vanessaclark3997]

Ty. This is exactly the video i needed. I made my first buns last night but from the vids i watched i didnt know if i should keep the water boiling or put it to low or what. Needed a more thorough walkthrough like this. Ty

[@jungkooks_bananamilk06]

im coming back and back to this video evertime i want to make baozi😭😭😭 delicious recipe freaking love it❤

[@jotade2098]

Long time follower here. You are the best , Mandy. You even explain the chemical reactions from the technique . As always, thanks for posting :)

[@KiwiJJams]

You're a life saver 🥰🥰🥰 I had shop-bought microwave steamed bao buns today, they rarely come into shops where I live so I'm eager to make my own but the taste and texture of a good bun is so specific I thought it would take unique ingredients that would be hard to source or tricky techniques that I'd screw up. Your video is so detailed and beginner friendly, I'm excited to try it ASAP!!! (Will be getting some yeast and rolling out some dough soon!) Even if my buns come out a little bit funny, your videos are so encouraging that it makes me feel much more optimistic about improving my cooking skills and making delicious hearty meals.

[@Elin-Esteem84]

Ur English is very good! I don't think I could ever explain any recipes in Chinese, or any other language.

[@thatslifecaro1479]

we made a vegan version by using vegan ground meat and skipping the fish sauce. They are a-ma-zing!!! Such a delicious and fun recipe to make !! Thank you so much

Best part is we see the same common ingredients being used in different recipes. I can't imagine myself going to buy new condiments everytime I learn cooking new dishes. Saves on time and money.
