A friend was making and selling these Hakka vegetable buns (chai bao), so we ordered and collected them on a Sunday. RM20 for 10 buns and we gave 1 pack to my dad who loves his Hakka chai bao. We took the other pack of 10 home to enjoy with our dinner.
Pretty hard to find good Hakka chai bun in Kuching, but one could easily get nice chai kueh. Almost similar ingredients to its cousin chai kueh, this friend's chai bao was nice. Peppery with crunchy jijima, ear wood, long beans, carrot and beancurd; the bun was very tender. Not too big neither too small; just nice to enjoy when you do not feel like having any meat meal.
Hubby took 2 of these buns with dishes that I cooked that evening. No rice for him. The star of the dinner was my sweet & sticky ribs!
The recipe was inspired by this blog. Easy to make recipe, which suited me well.

Those sweet sticky ribs are so very tempting! Your friends made some great steamed buns.
The buns as well as your sticky ribs are so tempting!
I think I would love those buns. Vegetables and carbs - two of my great loves.
I love to eat those chai baos when they are juicy and peppery with crunchy ingredients like what you bought and had. Yums!
I have eaten Hakka Chai Bao which was commonly sold at Pasar Malams here. Very delicious and healthy! Now I miss them.
Wow! Your sweet and sticky ribs dish is the winner! My spouse would love it very much! The vege baos are very suitable for vegans. Yummy! 😋😋😋
