“Bao”, foodies only have these three letters in their mouths.
Born in China centuries ago, the baozi — small bag in Chinese — is a pillar of street food in Southeast Asia, from Canton to Hong Kong, via the Philippines or Vietnam (where it is eaten call bahn bao).
Popularized in France by chef Adeline Grégal, this steamed brioche, easy to make in savory or sweet versions, could well dethrone the burger… Here are some bao recipes to adopt at home.
