For the Spicy Rock Shrimp Bao Buns

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrot. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, salt, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot, toss well, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rock Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine the rock shrimp with sriracha, mayonnaise, and chopped green onions. Mix until the shrimp is well coated.

  3. 3

    Make the Bao Buns

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water to form a dough. Knead until smooth, then divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly. Steam the buns for about 10-12 minutes until fluffy.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bao Buns

    Once the buns are cooked, open each bao and fill with the spicy rock shrimp mixture and top with the pickled slaw.
