About this dish

Bánh bao is a Chinese bun based on the Cantonese tai pao, or da bao, which was introduced to Vietnam by Chinese immigrants. It is a ball-shaped bun containing pork or chicken meat, onions, eggs, mushrooms and vegetables. It often has Chinese sausage and a portion of a hard-boiled egg inside. They are filled with savory fillings, the most common being seasoned ground pork and quail egg. A vegetarian version also exists, containing a mix of mushrooms, tofu, glass noodles, and vegetables like carrots or jicama. Banh bao is a popular street food and is typically eaten as breakfast or a snack.
