Behind the Dish

This bao is the OG—the one that started the whole bao movement. We braise hand-rolled pork belly in a secret sauce, inspired by classic Chinese flavors. The pork belly’s got it all: rich, fatty, crispy, and tender. The bun’s soft and fluffy, and when you bite into it, that pork fat and crisp edge hit you just right. It’s simple, it’s classic, and it’s damn near perfect.
