Banh Bao - Vietnamese for "big-ass dumpling"

Steaming the banh bao


Girl made some banh bao for dinner the other day. Banh bao is a large ball-shaped dumpling filled with ground pork, sausage, onions, and some hard-boiled egg. The dumpling is steam-cooked for about 20 minutes. It tastes awesome. All the flavors mix very well and the dumpling dough is nice and fluffy.

I think there has only been one Vietnamese dish I haven't liked in the 5 years we have been together; some duck dish. Other than that, I have liked all the Vietnamese food I have tried so far. Lucky for me Girl is an excellent cook. Lucky for her I am an excellent eater.
