  • Leave to stand for 3 mins then remove clingfilm

microwave [4 bao’buns]

  • Place 4 bao’buns in the centre of a microwaveable bowl
  • Cover with microwavable clingfilm and pierce
  • Microwave for 1 min 20 seconds [750W / 900W]

Please ensure bao’buns are cooked until piping hot. Do not re-heat once cooked.

take a bao

The first bao we ever served in our restaurants used a fluffy pancake like bun we folded around the filling. They looked & tasted beautiful, but made a mess when you ate them. We thought this was a problem without a solution. Afterall, some things are just messy, the taste was worth it. That was until a winter trip to Tokyo, where we saw clear steaming chests filled with hot snacks dotted all over the city. There was one thing in particular that caught our eye; a perfect round bao bun called a Nikuman. When making a Nikuman the dough is folded & sealed around the filling before being steamed. This locks in the flavour & means you can confidently eat the bun with one hand. Same incredible taste, no mess. Our transition was swift.
