No need to brave the lines at your favorite dim sum restaurant, because there’s nothing going on in there that you can’t learn to duplicate at home! In this immersive, hands-on class Soy Dara you’ll learn how to craft both steamed and baked bao from scratch — exploring traditional dough techniques and rich, flavorful fillings that are beloved across Asia. One the menu: steamed chicken and Chinese sausage hum bao with bamboo shoots and mushrooms; baked char siu bao (barbecue pork buns); and gau bao (Taiwanese-style steamed buns) with soy-glazed pork belly, hoisin, and cucumber. Whether you’re a bao beginner or looking to expand your skills, this class will take you deep into the heart of this iconic comfort food.
