Chinese Steam Custard Buns Soft and Fluffy | Nai Wong Bao | 奶黄包

These Chinese Steam Custard Buns are super soft fluffy and the custard is so fragrant, smooth and creamy it just melts in your mouth! This special recipe is similar to the custard bao texture you have at the Chinese restaurants. They are not the chewy type but soft cottony fluffy texture. The custard is made mainly from egg yolks and milk and is very creamy after you steam it. I have made many versions of these buns and I thought this recipe is the best so far.

I have another soft and fluffy custard bun recipe using plain flour/all purpose flour (   • Chinese Steam Custard Buns Soft and F...  ). If you have watched my other custard bun recipe, you can skip the custard filling method (click here 1:24)

Chinese Steam Custard Buns are Dim Sum favourites! You can find it in almost all Chinese Restaurants that serve Dim Sum. They are also called "Nai Wong Bao 奶黄包 ” 。 These steamed buns are different from "Liu Sha Bao 流沙包 ” . "Liu Sha Bao" also known as custard buns are made from duck eggs.
