Steamed bao buns have become increasingly popular in North America in recent years and Trader Joe's is riding that wave with the debut of its new Mini Shrimp Bao appetizer.
For those unfamiliar, bao (or baozi) is a type of yeast-leavened filled bun that's a staple of various Chinese cuisines. Bao can be served a number of ways, but the buns make a particularly great vessel for hearty proteins and aromatic sauces, which is what Trader Joe's has done with its new Mini Shrimp Bao appetizer. Trader Joe's steamed bao buns are made by a Vietnamese supplier that fills miniature, clamshell-style bao with a seasoned shrimp patty and pairs the buns with a savory-sweet lemongrass, lime, and chili sauce. Best of all, you can microwave or steam the buns in just minutes and then add your choice of garnish.
