Curried vegetable bao bun served

Curried Vegetable Bao Buns

When you hear the word curry, many people think of India, but coconut milk-based, mildly spiced versions are also very popular in Asia, especially in Thailand. We're now serving this flavor profile in steamed bao buns, which are the perfect base for the flavorful, juicy filling. The vegetables remain crisp, while the coconut curry delicately embraces them. The curry powder and garlic subtly spice the base, but don't overwhelm the natural flavor of the vegetables. The softness of the steamed bao dough provides the perfect contrast to the texture of the vegetables. As the curry simmers and the bao softens under the steam, the aromas evoke the atmosphere of an Asian street food market. This dish is a perfect choice for vegetarian guests, a light dinner, or even a weekend brunch. Try it sprinkled with roasted peanuts or fresh cilantro!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the carrot and bell pepper into small strips. If using frozen green peas, thaw them first. Finely chop the garlic.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Then, add the carrot and bell pepper and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

    3

    Add the green peas and curry powder, mix well, and pour in the coconut milk. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and coats the vegetables.

    4

    Steam the bao buns in a bamboo steamer or over a covered strainer for 6-8 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during steaming to prevent the bao from losing their fluffiness.

    5

    Open the warm bao buns and spoon in the curried vegetables. Make sure each bun gets some of the sauce to balance the flavors.

    6

    Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and garnish with microgreens. Serve immediately while warm.

    Tip: If you like a little heat, sprinkle a few chili flakes on top when serving.
