"Laoban's spicy beef bao buns are made with grass-fed ground beef that is seasoned with onion, chili, and cumin. The recipe is a fresh take on a classic favorite that tastes similar to biting into spicy chorizo that has been folded inside a pillowy roll. These bao buns pair well with dipping sauces like a spicy peanut sauce made with ginger and garlic or a quick drizzle of sesame oil or chili crisp."
"Laoban started as a dumpling shop in Washington, D.C., before the name began appearing in frozen food sections in 2021. Laoban, Chinese for "boss," was created in honor of the dumpling shops that inspired its founder while teaching English in China. Michelin-awarded Chef Tim Ma developed the brand's recipes, and the bao buns can be steamed, boiled, or pan-fried in less than 15 minutes."
"Customers have shared their experiences online, describing the buns as easy to make and fast to plate. "I especially liked the soft texture of the buns and the flavorful filling," wrote a happy shopper on Social Nature. "These are legit! We're a Chinese American family and love these. Tasty, great texture and super authentic. A regular on my grocery list now," added another."
