The Essential Sheng Jian Bao 生煎包 — soft & pillowy steamed bao outside. Meaty & succulent pork filling inside. Crispy & greasy pan-fried bottom.

There's only one thing more perfect than a pork bun — a pan-fried pork bun. That's why Shanghai's Sheng Jian Baos are such a revelation. The crispy bottoms elevate (not literally) the entire bun, adding much-needed crisp, grease, heat and umami.

These essential buns come formed, filled, rolled and ready — to be steamed, fried, and smothered in black garlic chili oil.

All Purpose Flour, Egg, Dry Active Yeast, Salt, Sugar, Canola Oil, Ground Pork, Soy Sauce, Onion, White Pepper, Ginger, Sesame Oil.
Allergens: Wheat, Egg, and Soy

From frozen, steam 10-15 minutes. Thawed, steam 7-10 minutes. Heat one table spoon of neutral oil in a pan. Cook steamed bun bottom until golden brown.

Handmade in San Francisco

Dishes that require a practiced and steady hand. Rolling, folding, pleating. These are the tools that Chef Yanning brings to her dishes and they have been brought to The Essential to share her perfection with you.
