Sloppy Joe Bao Buns - American Baozi Recipe

on


 

Today we make an "American version" of this classic Chinese style steamed bun, Sloppy Joe Bao Buns! Normally Bao bun dough is a yeast dough, and you can totally do it that way, BUT this easy 3-ingredient dough i used here yields the same results is about half the time! 

Regardless of what dough you use, the soft steamed buns actually pair wonderfully with the slightly sweet, spicy, and tangy beef sloppy joe filling! 






Sloppy Joe Bao Buns - American Baozi Recipe:

For the dough:

  • 2 cups of self rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ~2/3 cup cool water

Sloppy joe filling:

  • ~1lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1 can tomato paste + 2 cans water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt & pepper to taste



Enjoy!
