Yes. You can steam the buns and then wait for it to cool down. Then freeze with pacakge.

the buns’ in the Asian market as I’m without a mixer
of any type. Thank you ?? (sorry, no Bao in Emoji)

Hi ALChan,
Thanks so much for bring that to me. I have double checked the problem and it seems that I have updated the recipe once which cause the difference in print version. Can you please empty the cache and re-print it again?

There is a minor error in your print version You mentioned
“250 g Pork belly or pork butt , around 1 pound”
one pound =425 gm
250 gm would be closer to 1/2 pound.

Prepared this delicious recipe for dinner last night and it tasted amazing! Prep time was considerably longer for me than the recipe indicated, but that tends to be expected and boy was it worth it! Looking forward to making this again and further exploring the recipes on your site. Thanks Elaine!

Hi Kai,
Sorry I have double checked the recipe and find I forget to double the amount of sauces from test. You will need to use only 250g pork belly if follow the amounts of the marinating ingredients.

It didn’t caramalize at all.. am I doing it wrong?

Hi Catherine,
Sorry for the misunderstanding. In hot winter days, just let the buns stay in the steamer for the second proofing. In cold water days, heat the water for 2-3 minutes until warm and let the bun stay for second proofing(takes around 10 to 15 minutes for this recipe). After the second proofing, start the fire and steam the buns for 10 minutes after the water boils.
