If you’re a fan of marvellously moreish bao buns, You can love this School of Wok Bao Bun Kit from founder Jeremy Pang, which helps you easily make your own black pepper-flavoured bao buns at home in only 30 minutes – including the time to prove the dough!

A perfect snacky supper for any fan of black pepper, the filling for the bao buns in this kit is hot, hot hot!

Take a bao

A street food staple in China and other Asian countries, these steamed pillowy buns come filled with a wide variety of delicious flavours from sticky and spicy pork or beef to salt and pepper tofu. To make them from scratch, you’d normally want to prove your dough for a few hours, but the flour mix in Jeremy Pang’s kit only needs ten minutes before your buns are ready for steaming. You can end up with soft, relatively sweet buns that are airy enough to mop up sauce yet firm enough to keep everything together.

Step-by-step instructions

While you’re waiting for your buns to prove, follow the included instructions to use the pickling salts on your veg – carrot or cucumber matchsticks work truly well – massage the dry rub into your chopped meat or tofu and prepare your glaze.

Add the sizzle

When everything is prepared and your buns are steaming in a bamboo steamer or steamer basket, it is time to get sizzling. In a wok, stir-fry your meat or tofu for a few minutes, coat with the black pepper glaze and cook for another minute on a high heat. Fill your steamed buns with the meat or tofu and top with the pickled veg – you want to also add chopped red chilli, coriander and spring onion for an extra kick of flavour.
