Lauren, I’ve been following you for years now. Just gotta say, the fucking quality of your content has improved immensely. Not that it was bad before, but it’s so elevated now. Week after week you not only give us delicious recipes, but BEAUTIFUL videos. Congrats on everything, sis. You deserve it! Love from Chicago 💜
You can also find frozen versions of the steamed bao buns at most Asian grocery stores if you’re too lazy to make them from scratch! My family always has them in the freezer.
OMG!!! YOU R MAKING TAIWANESE GUA BAO!!!!! You rock it, Lauren!! We can also find many vegan version of gua bao in Taiwan too. And my favorite is filling the bao with braised dried tofu, some veggies, and ofc PEANUT POWDER and CORIANDER!!! You should really try it out, it's so simple but delicious too. Love from Taiwan
When you come here mostly to see Lauren's commentary while she eats :D I do the same thing when I cook food and my boyfriend is just like 'shut up and eat the damn food'
The googly eyes should become a thing! Like in every video put them on one piece of food for the lols. Or is that un-vegan of me, to be personifying my food? Hmm
Two words: NEXT LEVEL!!! OMG, looks SO good! I always wanted to learn how to make a bao. And it actually seems easier than all the other bao recipes I tried to understand. Totally biased, but also the truth: Lauren is by far the genius of vegan eats! And: who doesn't love five spice?! Thanks for being genius and posting on youtube! I love youtuuuuuuuuube!
Lauren, I love your videos so SO much... the food is beautiful, the videography is amazing, you are always equal parts charming and hilarious, and even your background song is so catchy and perfect, I love it! ❤️
Yooo that dough thooough! I am about to impress my damn self when I pull this one off!! That filling is absolute BOMB and the filling idea for the empanadas? Spot ON!!!
Hey Lauren ,I’m from China 🇨🇳 And I must say that you did a great job.Those looks so tasty 😋 You should visit China someday! we have so many tasty vegan food here.Even street food🏃♀️
I've never pickled carrots, but in my experience red onions need to pickle for at least 12 hours. Well, I'm excited to experiment more with pickeling different veggies and I'll definetely try out whether I like the taste of pickled carrots already after one hour like you suggested.
GIRL. YES. Right across the street from my apartment there is a place that does cheap bao on Tuesday nights. All my friends go and I can never have them because the buns aren't vegan. And I've been dreaming about them. THANK YOU.
Can’t wait to make these for Chinese New Year. I showed my mom (she’s not vegan but lives by your cookbook) and she’s extremely excited too. Thanks for all the great recipes ☺️❣️
that's a cool, genuinely new creation. i haven't tried them, i waaay tooo busy these days, but i think the contrast in filling texture and steam bun is going to work out perfectly. really nice idea!!!
Rivers Duggan I think steam then cool then freeze. Then defrost when ready. Just make sure it’s super airtight. Maybe take a straw and blow air out of bag. Or just do your best to get air out with hands (I’m a bit paranoid about freezer burn haha 😁).That’s what I do with challah (braided Christmas or Chanukah bread) and they sell Bao in the store frozen. Why not?
have u tried bragg's amino acid as a soy sauce, tamari replacement?? it is FAR better, tastier, and loaded with vitamins, super healthy. i've just been surprised that you haven't used it. must try it!

aww thank you thank you. Very much appreciated xo
I like how surprised and happy are you every time you bite into the thing you make
You can also find frozen versions of the steamed bao buns at most Asian grocery stores if you’re too lazy to make them from scratch! My family always has them in the freezer.
That’s so helpful thank you!!! 😍
Another shortcut is frozen white bread dough. Thaw it. Roll it out and proceed. Just check the ingredients.
I love this kind of steamed bun soooo much
Mary's Test Kitchen good morning Mary. ☺️💖
@@niwaleaf good morning!
Woohoo I knew Mary would see this! Can't wait to see your adaptation of this recipe too!
Mary's Test Kitchen Just to recap, and make sure I got this right: Lauren’s steaming buns are so beautiful!!😏😂
BRAVO! Great recipe
well look who it is
Yasssss - awesome seeing you guys here too!
Fancy meeting Mike and Josh here!!! 😃
Wow!!! Love you guys!!
There is no greater feeling than watching Lauren Toyota eating😌
Loved the little googly eyes on the poofy bun at the end of the line! So cute!
Lol the googly eyes! And chewing noises yay. I made these from Mary’s test kitchen can’t wait to try Hot for foods
OMG!!! YOU R MAKING TAIWANESE GUA BAO!!!!!
You rock it, Lauren!! We can also find many vegan version of gua bao in Taiwan too. And my favorite is filling the bao with braised dried tofu, some veggies, and ofc PEANUT POWDER and CORIANDER!!! You should really try it out, it's so simple but delicious too.
Love from Taiwan
lauren eating it is the best part of every video
the bun with the little googly eyes is the quality content I signed up for hahaha
I'm sure someone's already said it... but can someone make a compilation of Laurens first bites. Lol. Its soooo good. Lol
Hi Lauren, in case you don't know, a thin layer of oil on the dough can also prevent the bao to stick together. This is how we make "gua bao"
"You can also use a panty hose! A clean pair of pantyhose"
*oh.... Rolls pantyhose back onto legs" lol!!! 😂 God I hope people use clean ones!
Wow the bao came out so perfect and fluffy!! 😍 I love the use of heart of palm as well. This made me so hungry
I didn't have heart of palms, so I substituted it with jackfuit. The Bao tasted so good!
Taiwanese fan right here! Can’t wait to veganize my childhood 💕💕🇼🇸
When you come here mostly to see Lauren's commentary while she eats :D I do the same thing when I cook food and my boyfriend is just like 'shut up and eat the damn food'
Lauren is such a natural in front of the camera. Total badass.
xo kisses!
The googly eyes should become a thing! Like in every video put them on one piece of food for the lols. Or is that un-vegan of me, to be personifying my food? Hmm
Yes this!!!
I hate watching most people eat except for you. I look forward to the eating segment of each vid!
Un-bao-leivable ! 😍
Half of the fun is watching you eat your food bc you get so excited, like I’m HYPED and want to try, too!!
A quick pickle... a quickle! 😹
OMG!!! Those little googly eyes killed me!!! SOOOOOO CUTE!
BABY GOT BAOOO, i have to try these they look soooo good, Bao buns were never even something I got to try as a non-vegan because I never ate pork.
Lauren you are really talented!!!! I've been following you for ages and I feel so so fortunate to have you in my life!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
These.. look... INCREDIBLE!!! I'm imagining how they must taste & I'm drooling... lol'ed at the googly-eyed bun!
Two words: NEXT LEVEL!!! OMG, looks SO good! I always wanted to learn how to make a bao. And it actually seems easier than all the other bao recipes I tried to understand.

awwww thanks for supporting and watching. xo
Love the googly eyes! 😂
Idea: you should make a vegan baked brie!
Lauren, I love your videos so SO much... the food is beautiful, the videography is amazing, you are always equal parts charming and hilarious, and even your background song is so catchy and perfect, I love it! ❤️
This looks incredible. I wanna try! I absolutely ADORE your palm pork.
I can’t wait until your second book comes out!!!
Please make a spaghetti squash recipe next
11:22 love the camera push in on your reaction! How many times have you blown your own mind lauren Toyota??
Yooo that dough thooough! I am about to impress my damn self when I pull this one off!! That filling is absolute BOMB and the filling idea for the empanadas? Spot ON!!!
Hey Lauren ,I’m from China 🇨🇳 And I must say that you did a great job.Those looks so tasty 😋 You should visit China someday! we have so many tasty vegan food here.Even street food🏃♀️
you should make a series showing us the behind the scenes of the recipe developing/testing!!!
sometimes I show on insta stories @hotforfood
Gosh I wished I was your neighbor!! Looks sooo good!!
If you throw the flour like you're skipping rocks it leaves the perfect dusting on a counter. 😊 Love the video!
Lauren you make me hungry!!😋 I'm watching this late at night, big mistake. Thanks for posting this recipe!! I love your channel.
You and avant garde vegan are the best

I love your videos Lauren! You are a fricken genius! Plus you are like the only person I can actually stand to watch eat on camera 😂 you slay girl✨🙌🏼
haha that's a special kind of relationship ;) xo
Made these tonight and they were AWESOME! I'd never used heart of palm before and I love the texture! Great recipe!
Can’t wait to make these for Chinese New Year. I showed my mom (she’s not vegan but lives by your cookbook) and she’s extremely excited too. Thanks for all the great recipes ☺️❣️

Gosh I love how when she tastes the food, she goes all "MMMMMMMMMMMM" 😍
Very lovely Lauren...the buns look yummy and rest of course. Thank you!!
Best cooking channel on TH-cam! Love your creativity. Been here for awhile and always look forward to Wednesday’s! ❤️❤️
yuuum, the buns look sooo good!
Looks perfect! I would just eat the filling with rice but need to find substitute for the palm, I can't get in in Czech republic!
I CANT BELIEVE YOU FINALLY DID A BAO VIDEO❤️ I remember asking you when I met you on your book tour! Amazing Lauren!
I was literally so satisfied watching this. I saved it to watch it while eating my pathetic work lunch !
If you can’t eat all the buns at once is it best to steam it all at once or just save the rest of the dough and steam it later?
Rivers Duggan I think steam then cool then freeze. Then defrost when ready. Just make sure it’s super airtight. Maybe take a straw and blow air out of bag. Or just do your best to get air out with hands (I’m a bit paranoid about freezer burn haha 😁).That’s what I do with challah (braided Christmas or Chanukah bread) and they sell Bao in the store frozen. Why not?
Holy Moly! These are visually stunning and my mouth is watering. I'll take a trip to Chinatown for these.
I have got to make this!!! I love bao buns
Yes! Yes! Yes! I love bao so much! Thank you for this mouth watering recipe, can't wait to make it!❤
have u tried bragg's amino acid as a soy sauce, tamari replacement?? it is FAR better, tastier, and loaded with vitamins, super healthy. i've just been surprised that you haven't used it. must try it!
