    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and sugar, then add the lukewarm water. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

    2

    Divide the dough into 8-10 portions, shape into ovals, fold in half, and place in a steamer lined with parchment paper. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until soft and fluffy.

    3

    In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the cooked, shredded beef, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.

    4

    Gently open the bao buns. Fill with the soy-glazed beef, then top with cucumber slices and chopped scallions.

    5

    Serve immediately. For an extra kick, serve with chili sauce or sprinkle with sesame seeds. The soy-glazed filling and fresh vegetables complement each other perfectly.
