Description
Indulge in the soft, pillowy texture and savory beef filling of these tender bao buns. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
– 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions
1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, and scallions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the flavors are combined.
3. Steam the bao buns according to package instructions, usually about 10 minutes.
4. Carefully open the buns and spoon the tender beef filling evenly into each bun.
5. Serve the bao buns immediately, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of sriracha or other Asian-inspired condiment. These bao buns also make a great make-ahead appetizer – simply prepare the filling and steam the buns in advance.
