TAKE A BAO

We say you can never have enough Chinese steamed buns (baozi) and dumplings ( jiaozi ) – called pot stickers when they’re fried until crispy (above). These irresistible bombs of umami flavour are utterly addictive. Bao means “to wrap” and popular fillings include pork, vegetables or seafood. Buy them ready-made or make them yourself – turn the page to see how.
