What is a bao bun?
The bao bun, also known as bao, is an Asian-style steamed bread known for its soft, fluffy texture and slightly sweet flavour. Originally from China, this bread spread throughout Asia and, in recent years, has also gained great popularity in Western cuisine thanks to its versatility.
It is usually shaped like a small folded bun that is filled with different ingredients, from meats and vegetables to sauces and pickled toppings. The result is a light, juicy bite full of flavour.
Duck bao: a different proposal at El Vasco
At El Vasco, this Asian classic becomes a very special dish on the menu. The duck bao bun combines the softness of steamed bread with the rich, juicy flavour of duck.
The dish is completed with crispy onion, which adds texture, and a yoghurt and mint sauce that balances the flavours with a fresh, aromatic touch. Each element is carefully designed to create a perfect contrast of flavours and sensations.
It is an ideal dish to share or to start a meal with something different, reflecting the restaurant’s philosophy: tradition, quality ingredients and creativity in every plate.
