Bao Buns and Fillings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    In a pan over medium heat, cook the pork belly until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let it caramelize for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  2. 2

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs in and fry them until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove and set aside. For the deep-fried version, coat the fried eggs in a light batter and deep fry until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bao Buns

    Steam the bao buns according to package instructions until fluffy and warm.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bao Buns

    Open each bao bun and fill it with caramelized pork belly, a few slices of scallions, a spoonful of kimchi, and sesame greens. Top with a fried egg (or deep-fried egg) before closing the bun.
