National Bao Day

If you’re a fan of Fujian cuisine, you’ll be very excited to hear that National Bao Day falls on August 22nd this year. Baos, otherwise known as pork belly buns, are a popular Chinese sandwich that can be crafted in a variation of ways, commonly stuffed with pork and a selection of vegetables. These beloved delicacies have become an art form to many, and were even the star of a short film that came out in 2018 titled Bao. Whether you’re a long-time fan of these, or are interested in trying them for the first time, BPL has just the thing for you! Check out these three cookbooks for some delicious recipes and unique ways to indulge in baos.

  • Double Awesome Chinese Food: Irresistible and Totally Achievable Recipes from our Chinese-American Kitchen by Margaret Li

  • The Everything Chinese Cookbook by Manyee Elaine Mar

  • Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook by Leeann Chin

If you’re interested in any of these titles, they can be found in the Nonfiction section of BPL’s in-house, Adult collection. However, there’s far more options on our Hoopla and Overdrive, if you prefer reading digitally. Let us know if you try any of these recipes and how you’re planning to celebrate National Bao Day!
