I served the Banh Bao with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce. It was the perfect complement to the buns.

These Banh Bao are a great make-ahead meal. You can steam them ahead of time and then reheat them in the microwave or oven when you're ready to serve.

I steamed the buns in a bamboo steamer, but you could also use a metal steamer basket. Just make sure to grease the steamer basket lightly with oil to prevent the buns from sticking.

I used a mixture of ground pork and ground chicken for the filling. It turned out great and gave the filling a nice, complex flavor.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the filling. The buns were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the cilantro.

The Banh Bao were so fluffy and light, they almost melted in my mouth. I could have eaten a dozen of them!

I added a bit of shredded carrot and daikon radish to the filling for extra crunch and texture. It was a great addition that I highly recommend.

I'm not usually a big fan of pork belly, but it was cooked to perfection in this recipe. It was tender and juicy, and it added a richness to the filling that was simply divine.
