A perfect steamed bun should be fluffy and airy like cotton; The filling should be flavorful and juicy. This video will give you 5 simple tips to making the best chicken steamed buns.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE WRAPPER (makes 16 wrappers)
600 grams of all-purpose flour (Amazon Link - geni.us/all-purpose-flour)
300 grams of lukewarm water
2.5 tsp of active dry yeast (Amazon Link - geni.us/yeast)
1 tsp of sugar
2 tbsp of butter
Ingredients for the filling (Makes about 16 fillings)
400 grams of ground chicken
1 tsp of five spice powder (Amazon Link - geni.us/five-spice-powder)
Black pepper to taste (Amazon Link - geni.us/lEzgr)
1 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/EFKYHF)
1 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/ZgRz6)
1 tbsp of fish sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/5VPR)
2.5 tsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/dark-soy-sauce)
1/4 cup of chicken stock
1.5 medium size onion, diced
10 cloves of garlic, diced
4 scallions, diced
3-4 tbsp of vegetable oil (Amazon Link - geni.us/vegetable-oil)
INSTRUCTIONS
Make The Wrapper
Combine 300 grams of lukewarm water with 2.5 tsp of yeast and 1 tsp of sugar. Than wait for 5 minutes for the yeast to activate.
Mix the yeast order with the all-purpose flour until a rough dough forms. Then add 2 tbsp of room temperature butter and continue to knead until the dough becomes smooth.
Cover the dough and let it proof for 1.5 hours or until it is doubled in size.
Make the Filling
Saute the diced onion with a few tablespoons of oil over medium low heat until slightly golden. Then add diced garlic and diced scallions. Continue to stir until all the aromatics are golden brown. Remove everything, including the oil, to the side and allow it to cool.
Season the ground chicken with 1 tsp of five spice powder, some freshly ground black pepper to taste, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of fish sauce, and 2.5 tsp of dark soy sauce.
Pour 1/4 cup of chicken stock in batches and stir the filling until all the liquid is absorbed. Add the caramelized aromatics to the chicken and mix well.
Wrap the Steamed Buns
The dough has doubled in size. Punch the dough to eliminate the air bubbles. Then, knead it on the working surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough into a long even log. Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Cover them, so they don’t dry out.
Take one piece of dough. Flatten it first, then use a rolling pin to roll the edge back and forth. The left hand rotates the dough. Repeat that, and you will get a round wrapper with a thick middle and a thinner edge.
Put some filling in the middle. Pinch the corner to create the first pleat. Use your left hand to help to stretch, fold, and pinch the wrapper all the way around the edge until the bun is closed.
Put parchment paper under. Rotate the bun and shape it a little bit taller so it doesn’t become too flat.
Once you finish wrapping all the buns, put them in the steamer and let them raise for another 20 minutes or until they are 1.5 times the size.
Steam the buns over medium heat for 20 minutes (start counting the time after the water has come to a boil).
Turn off the heat. Do not open the lid immediately. Instead, let the buns sit in the steamer for 10 minutes to avoid shrinking. Enjoy! - Jak na to + styl
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!
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.
Clever young lady.
True
Exactly 😂
Yesssss. I agree 100%
You said it perfectly….😊🎉❤
How much flour is a good starting point?
I made these yesterday and followed your instructions to the T. Everyone at the table was delighted by the taste and texture. Absolutely amazing!
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!
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!
@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.
Every couple of months I come to this channel and I am more amazed at how great your setup is, how beautiful the dishes are, and how well you explain all the steps. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! 🙏
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.
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.
You are an amazing supportive husband
As always explained in all details very vividly. In addition, it also looks super delicious. With these ingredients, it must taste good!
I have watch your videos for years! Love your recipes, tips & tricks!!! Thank you!
She’s great! Love her
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 ❤
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!
This looks amazing! I will give it a try this weekend! Thank you for another amazing recipe Mandy!
This was a joy to watch. You’re an excellent teacher. Thanks!
Long time follower here. You are the best , Mandy. You even explain the chemical reactions from the technique . As always, thanks for posting :)
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 CZcamsrs.
Gonna try making bao buns.
Will have to make chicken baozi very soon.Thank you Mandy.You're a great inspirational teacher!
I am so very glad that you made this video. I am planning to make buns soon, and this was incredibly helpful. All your videos are great, but this one is just what I needed this week!
You are an amazing instructor thank you so much for the detail and how you have it all broken down I love it and the food you make looks amazing planning on trying the steamed buns here in the next week or so wish me luck
WOW! Those look fantastic Mandy - thanks for posting this!
What a wonderful teacher you are!!!!! I look forward to more seeing videos. Keep them coming.
Mandy, you are an EXCELLENT instructor. THANK YOU!!, for sharing your DE-LIC-IOUS looking recipes.
Also, THANK YOU!!, for the detailed, easy to understand BRILLIANT!!, instructions.
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.
Ur English is very good! I don't think I could ever explain any recipes in Chinese, or any other language.
Great recipe! Turned out so good. Thanks Mandy.
I can't thank you enough for posting all your *delicious* recipes...This channel has always been one of my favorites...I so enjoy your calm presentation with it's simple clarity & helpful tips...My Amerasian family will certainly be so *enthusiastically* happy when I surprise them with this family favorite BaoBao dish...C H E E R S!!! : )
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.
Thank you so much! My daughter has asked me to make her bao buns and I hadn’t found a good recipe for them until now! I appreciate your step by step video and we will definitely be making them soon ❤

Tried it today with a friend. First time making it and it went quite well. Thks for all the tips
Awesome!!! Needed all of these tips. I made some a few days ago and wish I had seen this first. One challenge I had was the bun stuck on parchment. I think the butter tip will help🙇🏼♀️👍🦋

Delicious looking! A great project for a weekend.
Wow, what a lovely recipe, thankyou! I was looking for an authentic recipe, wow.
This looks so delicious! I'm not usually a steam bun person but would definitely try this.... Thanks for another great video!
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
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!!!!

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

Thank you for sharing this recipe! Can’t wait to try ❤
steamed bao buns and udon noodles (with broth) are my two favorite foods in the worlddddd, this vid made me very happy! and hungry haha
This looks and sounds so good
I love you ! Thanks for this awesome tutorial.
I made my first bao a couple weeks ago and I loved it. The filling could have been more flavorful though - I'm going to try your filling. My wrapping skills I hope will have improved some! lol
Just made it for the first time and I loved it! (Although mine had a tofu-shiitake mushroom filling)
Thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge! 🥰
I'm grateful to find this, thank you 🙏
Sorry Mandy, just scrolled your linked recipe. Thank you so much, I loved it. 💞
These look fabulous, I dont have a steamer but am tempted to buy one to make these. Thank you.
Love this♥️very simple. Buying my steamer and will do that👍🙂
Thank you so much for a fantastic video on this subject!! I have wanted to do these for a perfect breakfast...and lunch...and snack...oh and dinner for quite some time. :D
Beautiful, can’t wait to give this recipe a try
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.
Thank you for this video. You are an excellent in conveying the method and procedure in making the bao bun. I definitely will copy you.
That's the cutest pepper grinder I've ever seen! 😍
These look SOOOOOOo good!
Wow, I always wanted to know how to do this. It was fantastic. I did a different filling, but it was delicious
I am looking forward to trying this recipe out since i already love dumplings !
谢谢, Mandy! Love your blog!
Thanks for the helpful tips. YUM!
I love dumplings, but you have to make a lot of them to fill you up. Bao seems like a perfect way to enjoy dumplings with less amount but bigger fillings and wrappers. Thank you for showing it, I can't wait to try it.
THANK YOU for this! Making some Coconut Cream Bao later today. Heaven on earth!
You teach so well. I'll give this a try soon
Like many have said, you are great teacher. Again, this is a great video.
a very detailed instructions..thank you for the recipe..sure to make this! 😊
Very good detailed recipe! This steamed bun must be super delicious! Thank you
