Canned Biscuits Are Perfect For Quick Steamed Bao Buns
By Tom Maxwell
Making bao buns from home can seem like a daunting task, especially when it comes to kneading and proofing the yeasted dough needed to create the buns.
However, you can easily whip up an appetizing batch of steamed bao with a tube of canned biscuits, a decently stocked pantry, and some leftover protein.
Turning these biscuits into bao buns is as simple as folding oiled biscuits into crescent-shaped halves and steaming them for about ten minutes.
For the filling, all you need to do is shred some rotisserie chicken and mix it with brown sugar, sriracha, and rice vinegar for some sweet, spicy, and sour notes.
Finally, place a generous spoonful of it into the center of your bao bun and garnish it with thinly sliced scallions, sliced cucumber, cilantro, and shredded carrots.
