Gua Bao (Taiwan)

These immensely popular, steamed pork belly buns from Taiwan may take a little effort to make at home, but you really can't beat the airy, soft result. Made with soft, semi-circular, flat steamed breads (lotus leaf breads), they're traditionally stuffed with slowly braised pork belly, pickled mustard greens, coriander and ground peanuts. This recipe shows you how to make everything from scratch.
