My wife and I made this today and let me start off by saying WOW, it’s way better than the ones we get from the store! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
I have tried many different dough recipes but none gave me the light and airy like yours. We love different types of filling...traditional Vietnamese, curry chicken, char siu, kalua pork (Hawaiian styles) but the dough is always key for me. Thank you so much Aimee!
Just finished steaming this bun and it’s 23:00. It’s the best bun recipe I have tried. Tried countless recipes but non were satisfactory. I thought I’ll try this recipe cause the looks appealing to me and wahhhhh, it’s perfect. I think it’s even better than the steam buns that I buy from Chinese bakery. I even made a mistake, I forgot to add the oil. Straight away I added and continue needing for another 3 minutes. The end product is soft and fluffy. Had eaten 2 already. Made 10 buns. I’ll use this dough for custard buns.
Yay!! So happy to hear it turned out good. My family and I make this often. We all love it. Hey, you may want to try my custard bun recipe. That dough is even softer 😁
So I made this today. Omg! The dough is so good! I was able to get the dough fluffy with the nice shiny skin. My buns weren't very good looking ,but that's because my wrapping skills are not really good at all..... but they taste amazing! I'm over joyed with the outcome! Thank you so much Aimee! 😘😘🥰🥰🥳
They have these at Chinese express places also, love these! The bread looks awesome. My favorite pieces are the Chinese sausage and egg! Thanks for sharing!
Thx Aimee for another great recipe. I tried this yesterday and it turned out beautifully. My wife and I had it for breakfast this morning and absolutely loved the flavor and the texture of the buns.
I made this today and it was awesome. Pinching the dough is something I haven't gotten down yet but it was yummy in my tummy! Thanks Aimee for sharing your videos.
I tried your bao bun recipe (not the filling yet as I had a different filling already pre-made) and it was perfect! The only struggle was trying to fold the top to perfection as it was pretty gooey, which isn't a bad thing. Cannot wait to try it again with the filling you shared. Thanks for another amazing, easy to follow, recipe. And thank you for not cutting corners or leaving important details out! I appreciate it, truly. ❤😊
Wow... looks so delicious! First time I’ve seen the outside of the steamed bun is so fluffy like yours. Great recipe! Will definitely give it a try. Thank you for sharing. ❤️👍
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It was a hit at my family gathering. It taste so good just like the way my family have it when we were young
Thanks Aimee! I’ve been wanting this recipe very much since I had tried numeral recipes before but not very happy with the result, I will try to make this soon and will let you know 😍
Family friend sells buns like these, had them and absolutely loved them, I want to make my own and plan to follow this recipe, theirs are a little more dense I THINK but I won’t know till I make these myself, I’m gonna learn how to make all three kinds of buns, these Vietnamese ones, the Chinese ones and the Japanese ones, I will collect them like infinity stones 😂
This looks amazing, Aimee! I want to try. If i want to make a batch in advance and want to freeze some, do you suggest i should freeze the buns before or after cooking? Thanks!
It is very good filling. 100 gms dough made a very big steam buns. 8 buns. I will make filling a bit smaller next time. My filling was size of golf ball. My husband wants dough a bit sweeter so I will add 15-20 gms more sugar. I like dough a bit chewy. What can I add to make it chewy dough? Otherwise it is delish! Thanks for sharing.
Hello chi Aimee , I’ve just tried making the the recipe but the dough isn’t drying? I’ve left it to sit at room temperature for 2h 30mins and it’s still sticky to the touch? The measurements was all right so I’m not sure what I did wrong? Can I fix it or should I start a new batch? X
Thanks for sharing your recipe..I have one question on steaming time.."you said that steamed for 15 mins.." should i place the dough right away..while the water still at room temperature? Or I let the water on the boiling point..then I put in the dough ? Thank you..
Yes, that works. The filling amount is for double. I would say not much longer than the original recipe, just until the dough comes together and smooth. Don’t knead too long. We want soft bread, not chewy. Less gluten is better.
I've seen glass noodles and egg used for other pork fillings like Vietnamese egg rolls or for stuffing other things, just never seen it used in banh bao before. I wish Vietnamese people would go easy on adding additional sugar to things like the meat filling...3 tbsp seems a lot to me. I don't recall adding sugar to the filling when I made it with my mom growing up. It seems now a days, more sugar is added than is needed and everything is just too sweet!
Really makes me appreciate how much work goes into 2 seconds of me chomping. Thank you for sharing. Now at least I know it's better off for me to travel to buy it (even if Viet town far rather than to make it I know it sounds like a copout but tiny kitchen and am time poor.) Didn't realise it was so involved Meow-meow but then nothing yummy comes easily for free I guess. This is why all the good chefs are married also.
Hi Amiee, thank you for sharing your recipes! Can you tell me the difference between your banh bao dough recipe and the mantou recipe? Would you use this recipe for banh bao instead, and why? Thank you!
Thank you so much for this recipe. This is my first time ever making these. I came across a problem and I have a couple questions for you. When measuring the 4 g of yeast, does it have to be added to the milk mixture while weighing on the scale? I got 2 different results due to inconsistency of yeast. One time took up half of the 21 g pouch but the second time took almost all of it. Couldn't I just measure 4 g of yeast separately into a bowl and then add to milk mixture? Or would this mess it up? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
Veggie taste brand: product of Japan. It’s the only one I am comfortable with using. There are others. I have seen mushroom seasoning and vegetable seasoning, etc...
Hello Aimee, thank you for another great recipe:-) Can I replace the cornstarch by tapioca four/ rice flour/ potato starch? I want to make Banh Bao following your recipe today but I don’t have cornstarch:) thank you for your advice!
@@AimeesCooking thanks I followed your recipe last week It was turn out very good My family and my niece are like it Today I tried different recipe from the Chinese guy in Belgium But it was not good than yours Tomorrow I will try your receipe again Oh I tried your Banh Mi too It is really good Thanks again
I tried the dough but it came out like liquid and I followed every step precisely I added some more flour but then it came out chunky and to sticky...?
Thanks Aimee. Made a batch followed your instructions and it was a success. Banh bao turned out great soft and fluffy and just delicious. Momma approved 😉👍🏻
My dough is not coming out wet like yours. It’s dry but sticky. I live in a dry environment? Do you recommend adding anything to get that wet consistency?
Did you knead it a lot? This kind of dough doesn’t need much kneading. We want less gluten formation. You can add more butter. Hard to add liquid to kneaded dough. Honestly, probably will be ok to continue unless it’s super dry.
Aimee's Cooking it’s dry from the start when I’m mixing in the wet ingredients then I do 5 minutes on 2 on my stand mixer. I’m doing 200ml of milk, 30ml of vegetable oil, 2 egg whites. I don’t see butter in the recipe, did you mean oil?
Did you add the vinegar? Also, if you are using unbleached flour/all purpose it will have a natural tint of yellow. If you let it rise appropriately, it should look pretty white.
Thanks Aimee. I followed your instructions, my bánh bao turn out beautiful and yummy. My kids love them. Thanks so much. You’re so talented. Already subscribed.
First rise takes longer. Don’t leave it too long after shaping. Depends on your kitchen environment, you can steam after about 10-15 minutes of rest time. Some kitchen are much colder and might need a little longer. Try again and steam soon after shaping. 😉
My wife and I made this today and let me start off by saying WOW, it’s way better than the ones we get from the store! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Yay!! Yes, it prefer lighter, softer, texture, when it comes to bread. Great minds think alike 😜💕💕
Thank you for making a video on our country's food. I think Vietnamese Bao Bun deserves more attention, they're so good!

@Imran Kasen Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
They have these at Chinese express places also, love these! The bread looks awesome. My favorite pieces are the Chinese sausage and egg! Thanks for sharing!

I loves your recipes taste better then the premix dough at Asian store !
Looks good, I’m going to give it a try but I am currently waiting for my bahn mi to rise. Ty for the recipe💐🇨🇦
You’re welcome ❤️
This looks amazing, Aimee! I want to try. If i want to make a batch in advance and want to freeze some, do you suggest i should freeze the buns before or after cooking? Thanks!
After cooking. Resteam to warm it up before serving 🙂
Hi Aimee, i made banh baos. They are so delish and fluffy. Sooo goood!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!😊
Whoohoooooo!! You’re so welcome 🤗🤗
Omg so delicious! I love your recipes and helpful tips! You are amazing ❤
It is very good filling. 100 gms dough made a very big steam buns. 8 buns.
I will make filling a bit smaller next time. My filling was size of golf ball. My husband wants dough a bit sweeter so I will add 15-20 gms more sugar.
I like dough a bit chewy. What can I add to make it chewy dough? Otherwise it is delish! Thanks for sharing.
You have such a calming voice.
They look so yummy 😋. Do you recommend make the buns ahead and freeze them for later use? Thanks.
Sure, I do that. Store in the freezer in an airtight container. Just steam them again when you want more.
What is the shelf life fir this buns? Proper way to store after making it. Do you refrigerate right away or leave on your counter
Refrigerate after a few hours since it’s meat fillings.
@@AimeesCooking how do you reheat it
Microwave?
Hello chi Aimee , I’ve just tried making the the recipe but the dough isn’t drying? I’ve left it to sit at room temperature for 2h 30mins and it’s still sticky to the touch? The measurements was all right so I’m not sure what I did wrong? Can I fix it or should I start a new batch? X
Sorry for the late reply. Super busy. Hope it turned out for you. Let me know if you have any other questions ❤️❤️
New sub! The best recipe in English!
Yay!! Welcome and thank you!!❤️
Following this recipe for the lunar new year!
Yay!! Hope you like it 🙂
This looks delicious!! Going to try it!! Thanks!!
Enjoy! 🤗
Thanks for sharing your recipe..I have one question on steaming time.."you said that steamed for 15 mins.." should i place the dough right away..while the water still at room temperature? Or I let the water on the boiling point..then I put in the dough ? Thank you..
Fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing.
@leonard pasek thank you!!
Looks fluffy & yummy sis 😋😋😋
@kim’s cuisine thank you chi!! ❤️❤️
Hi Aimee is there anyway to scale down the amount of filling for your specific dough recipe because I hate to have extra filling.
Yes, cut everything to half 🙂
I love this bread. First had it NAM a restaurant in my city.
It’s a nice snack especially on the go 😀
Hi Aimee , can you please tell me what brand name of the all purpose flour did you use?
I use King Arthur brand 🙂
Do you have measurements of your ingredients? Like how much pork mince did you use etc ?
@kim Le yes, it’s in the description box below the video 😉😉😉
Hi sorry but I don't think you included the one egg in the pork filling recipe in the description.
Thank you!! Yes about 4 boiled eggs. Will take a look at the recipe and update.
If you don’t have a scale. What is the conversion of your dry ingredients using measuring spoons or cups?
Thanks Aimee. I can’t wait to try. Can u please also provide measurements in cup size. Thx.
Will update the next time I make it 🙂
Aimee's Cooking Thanks Aimee. 💜
You’re welcome 😉
Hi Aimee, I need to make more than 8 buns. Can I double the dough recipe? And how much time do I need to mix the dough in the stand mixer?
Yes, that works. The filling amount is for double. I would say not much longer than the original recipe, just until the dough comes together and smooth. Don’t knead too long. We want soft bread, not chewy. Less gluten is better.
I've seen glass noodles and egg used for other pork fillings like Vietnamese egg rolls or for stuffing other things, just never seen it used in banh bao before.

I don't recall adding sugar to the filling when I made it with my mom growing up. It seems now a days, more sugar is added than is needed and everything is just too sweet!
That’s the fun in home cooking. You can be creative. As long as it tastes good to you and your loved ones.
@@AimeesCooking True. But diabetes is a big killer in the Vietnamese community.
It’s a lot of fillings. It can make like 20 buns. But yes, it helps to pick and choose your food carefully.
Really makes me appreciate how much work goes into 2 seconds of me chomping. Thank you for sharing. Now at least I know it's better off for me to travel to buy it (even if Viet town far rather than to make it I know it sounds like a copout but tiny kitchen and am time poor.) Didn't realise it was so involved Meow-meow but then nothing yummy comes easily for free I guess. This is why all the good chefs are married also.
Im meal prepping for thanksgiving week and I want to make this dough 2 days in advanced. Am I able to keep it in the fridge and cook it 2 days later?
Hi Amiee, thank you for sharing your recipes! Can you tell me the difference between your banh bao dough recipe and the mantou recipe? Would you use this recipe for banh bao instead, and why? Thank you!
Just two different types. Use this one for traditional Vietnamese Banh Bao.
If I use ground beef or ground turkey, do I need to steam the fillings, Aimee ? Thank you
It’s up to you. Make sure you steam it a little longer to make sure the meat is cooked 🙂
@@AimeesCooking thank you, Aimee
If I use cake flour do I need to put cornflour? Thanks Aimee
Great video!
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

You can measure it separately 😉
What kind of vegetarian seasoning do you use and is there a substitute?
Veggie taste brand: product of Japan. It’s the only one I am comfortable with using. There are others. I have seen mushroom seasoning and vegetable seasoning, etc...
Hello Aimee, thank you for another great recipe:-) Can I replace the cornstarch by tapioca four/ rice flour/ potato starch? I want to make Banh Bao following your recipe today but I don’t have cornstarch:) thank you for your advice!
You’re welcome. Try potato starch.
Aimee's Cooking Thank you! Should I use the same amount of potato starch to replace the corn starch?
Yes.
If I want to make double , should I double everything on the recipe?
Would be better to make two batches for the dough. The fillings will be enough even with double the dough. Don’t change the amount for the fillings.
I love steam pun and other meat filling foods like gyoza
Me too!! 🥰
OMG 😮 Minh dang can cong thuc nay.
@tonya pham lol 😂 ok, enjoy!!!
Hi aimee
I use instant yeast , so just add it in together without microwave, is it ok?
Yes 🙂
@@AimeesCooking thanks
I followed your recipe last week
It was turn out very good
My family and my niece are like it
Today I tried different recipe from the Chinese guy in Belgium
But it was not good than yours
Tomorrow I will try your receipe again
Oh I tried your Banh Mi too
It is really good
Thanks again
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I tried the dough but it came out like liquid and I followed every step precisely I added some more flour but then it came out chunky and to sticky...?
Please check measurements again and use scale for precision.
Can I make the dough with non-dairy milk? Like soy or oat milk?
Yes, that’s fine 🙂
Look very good 👍👍❤️
Thank you!! ❤️
Great! Can you make mini ones?!
My daughter was stoked when I told her you requested mini Banh Bao. She’s been asking to make more mini foods lol 😂
Aimee's Cooking Great minds think alike!!
Hi Aimee, would I be able to steam it with the meat raw inside? If so, do you still recommend 15 mins?
@ninakhanhtu go for another minute or two 🙂
What is the best sauce to accompany this buns?
Hi Aimee - can I use the shortening/lard instead of the vegetable oil for the dough?
I have not done that but I don’t see it can’t be done. 😉
Thanks Aimee. Made a batch followed your instructions and it was a success. Banh bao turned out great soft and fluffy and just delicious. Momma approved 😉👍🏻
Is the soy sauce used for this recipe black soy sauce? It looks a little thicker than the usual
Regular, but I used the Maggi brand.
Is the bao bread sweet? I like mine on the sweeter side, lmk. Thanks!
Just a little, you can definitely add a little more sugar if you would like 😁
My dough is not coming out wet like yours. It’s dry but sticky. I live in a dry environment? Do you recommend adding anything to get that wet consistency?
Did you knead it a lot? This kind of dough doesn’t need much kneading. We want less gluten formation. You can add more butter. Hard to add liquid to kneaded dough. Honestly, probably will be ok to continue unless it’s super dry.

Yes, add more milk and oil.
What does the glass noodle do to the recipe pls?
Hi Aimee, can I add cream of tartar to make the bun whiter to this recipe? Thank you!
@talia I added lime juice to help get the bread more white. It came out pretty white. I would not suggest cream of tartar.
What kind of all purpose flour do you use? The skin of my bao comes out yellow after I steam it.
All purpose flour. There will be a yellow tint. If you want it white then use the lotus brand for baos 🙂
@@AimeesCooking Thanks! I will try that brand
What is Vegetarian seasoning and where can I find it?
Get the pre-mix dough @ Asian market.
Aimee are you able to convert to recipe to cups-U.S. measurements?
I will get back to you. Will convert the next time I make it....soon.
Aimee's Cooking, Yes! I’ll be patiently waiting.
I don’t have a scale to measure, can this be converted to U.S measurements?
I'm subbing now. This looks good. I'm a wierd Mexican American so I would probably dip in peanut sauce
Thanks!
You’re welcome 😉
Hey lady.i followed yours steps but idk why my powder turn into yellow.did i wrong st?thanks for replay my ques!
Sorry, not sure I understand what you meant by powder turn yellow?
Aimee's Cooking when i steam it. It turn into yellow color and it doesnt soft either
Did you add the vinegar? Also, if you are using unbleached flour/all purpose it will have a natural tint of yellow. If you let it rise appropriately, it should look pretty white.
Hi Aimee:) is it matter if I forgot to add lime juice?
The bread won’t be as white, otherwise, it will still be great 😉
Thanks Aimee. I followed your instructions, my bánh bao turn out beautiful and yummy. My kids love them. Thanks so much. You’re so talented. Already subscribed.
Welcome to the channel. Thank you for trying. You guys enjoy❤️❤️❤️
Delicious😍😍😍😍😍
aimee, this looks delicious!! i will definitely try this recipe next weekend.
@steph-x hope you like it. Let me know if you have any questions 😉🤗❤️
I’ve tried your recipe but it didn’t turn out so well. My banh was was gigantic huge. I’m not sure it’s because I used fast rise yeast?? Help please
First rise takes longer. Don’t leave it too long after shaping. Depends on your kitchen environment, you can steam after about 10-15 minutes of rest time. Some kitchen are much colder and might need a little longer. Try again and steam soon after shaping. 😉
Hi Aimee, can i leave the bun and steam the nexy day?
You should list the receipts below so ppl can easily follow
It’s all listed under the description box.
❤ very good
