In reply to Ada Lee. Yes, beef bao can be frozen up to 2 months in a freezer safe container or baggie. To make it simple and easy for your son's caretaker, we suggest assembling and pan frying the beef bao BEFORE freezing them. When you are ready to eat them, you can microwave or pan fry until heated through. Alternatively, If you decide to freeze them before pan frying them, you will need allow time for the dough to thaw out in the refrigerator overnight before pan frying. We hope that helps. Stay well and take care

Can these be frozen at any point of the process? I want to premake some easy things for my son’s caretaker to cook for him while I am at work.

In reply to Eha Carr. Thank you Eha. These Pan Fried Beef Bao are really unique as they get steamed and fried all in one pan. These could be dangerous if you do not have help eating the batch, as they are very addictive. You can't really stop at just one. We have tried on numerous occasions but always give in to a second or 3rd or more.. LOL Stay well and take care. Hoping Mother Nature cooperates in your area.

Oh what fun ! Have had various steamed kinds of similar goodness naturally but never made a yeast dough like this or panfried without steaming or even used 5-spice powder and Sichuan peppercorns together as far as I can remember ! If the promised torrential week of rains stops life even more than it already is . . . perchance a dangerous chance to prepare and stop eating at just a few 🙂 ! Am not gluten free so thank you for both dough recipes . . . . a wet weekend here but at least not the bushfires damaging so much at the opposite side of the country . . . trust you well . . .

Our local bao shop sadly shut and I've been missing them so much! These buns were just perfect and the beef filling had a wonderful kick to it. I made the gluten free buns as I had rice flour and they came out so great. Thank you, it totally satisfied my craving!

In reply to Tamara Andersen. Thank you Tamara. This is the lazy man's version of char sui bao for sure. There is no slow roasting the pork or waiting for the dough to rise. Hope you give this a go for your next birthday gatherings. Take Care

Char siu bao is our family's favorite birthday celebration dinner, but they are so much work! I love the idea of the "lazy man's" bun. And those browned and crispy edges are so amazing. Now my mouth is watering. YUM!
