Method
- Heat oil in a wok, sauté spring onion till aroma.

B) 2 hard-boiled eggs, wedged
C) Bao dough
250g cake flour ( I used Bao flour)
1/2tsp salt
1tsp instant yeast
40g caster sugar

Method
- Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix well and knead till smooth and no sticky to hands.
- Cover with damp cloth and proof to double in size (30-60mins).
- Knock down dough to expel some air, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for a while.
- Weigh out 55g of the dough and roughly shape into a ball, rest for 15mins.
- Flatten and roll out the dough into a circle with a rolling pin. Spoon in filling (1-2pcs chicken and onions, and 1pc of wedged hard-boiled egg) onto the center and pleat up the sides and seal.
- Place the bau onto a piece of greaseproof paper, on the rack for steaming. Cover with a piece of damp cloth and let rise for another 10-15 mins.
- Steam the bau under rapidly boiling water on high heat for about 10 to 12 mins.
- Remove from steamer and serve hot.
- Store in the fridge for left over bao, steam again before serve.
