Prepare the dough for the bao by using high-quality flour, preferably type 00 or high gluten flour.

Mix the dough until it becomes elastic and bouncy, resembling a rubber ball.

Grease a bowl with a little oil and place the dough inside, allowing it to rise until it doubles in size, which depends on the kitchen temperature.

While the dough is rising, prepare the vegetables for the bao, including carrots, ginger, and chili.

Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic, then add them to the ground pork.

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and lime zest to the pork mixture and mix until well combined.

Let the mixture rest while the dough rises.

After the dough has risen, divide it into four pieces and shape them into bao.

Roll out each piece into an oval shape and fill with a small amount of filling, then seal the bao.

Steam the bao by placing them in a steamer over boiling water for about 14-15 minutes until cooked through.

Once steamed, brush the bao with barbecue sauce mixed with sriracha for extra flavor.

Serve the bao with various vegetables and mayonnaise.
