How-To Make Classic-Style Pork Gua Bao

Chef Bao Bao of Greenpoint restaurant Baoburg shows us how to make pork gua bao in the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen. These perfectly steamed buns are light, fluffy, and filled with sweet and savory slow-cooked pork belly.

Born and raised in northern Thailand, Chef Bao Bao grew up eating bao and calls them "genius." We agree. They're a perfect snack (or meal) any time you're hungry.

Saw the chef and knew the comments would be a dumpster fire.

I got hooked on these when I was working in Taiwan. When I got back to Texas I taught myself how to make them- my favorite variation on this classic is using beef cheek barbacoa with a cabbage and carrot slaw and oytster/chili sauce reduction

tried the recipe and I was extremely pleased. I had tried another youtube recipe and the meat dry and not at all as good as this recipe. The other recipe took hours of tons of prep work and yet the end results were nothing compared to your recipe. Brilliant!!

I'll tell you what's genius: Thai people when it comes to cooking. I live there and they are incredibly ingenious with food.

She shows you the best buns around. Go to her restaurant at 614 Mahattan ave in Williamsburg. It´s so tiny overthere but with a very delicious cusuin

Went to the comment section to see if anyone else is drooling over the chef more than her dishes, was not disappointed.
