I like mine with Jicama. I noticed that you didn't have it in your ingredients list.

Yeap, lap xuong indeed :D! I like putting extra in there to steam with the buns, and to have on the side for people who like extra. I throw in any leftover eggs, and mushrooms in there too!

Yes it's Lap Xuong and its steamed all together for flavoring and aroma of the bun...give it a try, oh man the kitchen will smell really nice.

What's the red thing among the banh bao's in the steamer? Are they lap xuong? You steamed them too? Or is it for coloring/flavor?

The sausage is my fav part - I'd have to quadruple the amount of Chinese sausage!!!

Ooooh.. love the Bao.. it is stuffed to the gills.. I love the one's here in Japan.. although they are not %100 traditional they are not packed like that. I get them at the combini (service mart, convenience store.. which are like going to a chic super that has gourmet food which is microwavable).

My favorite used to be with Shitake, rice noodles, pork.. etc OH YUM. I love to eat it with hot mustard too.

2010-02-16T13:31:08.753-08:00

You made this from scratch? You are unbelieveable. I miss this too, in Malaysia, it's called Tua Bao (big bao) because they are big. I especially love the hard-boiled egg in this bao, so good. Yum.

2010-02-16T13:17:23.061-08:00

I'm a huge banh bao fan too. The Chiense bbq style is good and all, but the Viet way is tops in my book. The egg really makes it special.

Thanks a lot folks!!! I hope you guys like it! And...
