Great-Grandma Yin's Cha Sao Baozi <3

Hello, lovely readers!! <3

My name is Justina Lin! Also known as Nana! So, if you know anything about me... it is that I love great food!! <3 When you are super busy with over-time work all day, going to busy appointments, responding to TLDR emails, talking to your best friends forever, caring for your cutest pets, watching your favorite TV shows (aka the newest Bridgerton season), going out with various dating App suitors on Bumble, and more, you don't have time to cook from scratch anymore EVER! <3. That is where these perfect frozen baozi come perfectly!!

Today, I just want to share that I recently had a new grocery recommendation for everybody that reads this! The one I have in mind specifically is a favorite of mine that I learned to make last summer and have been perfecting ever since!

So, the current recipe that I am truly thinking of is very tough to make to be perfectly honest....because of time constraints and the physical limits of time as usual, but still don't let that necessarily dissuade you from cooking your best! Here are the ingredients you will need to be a perfect food ninja :). Serving Size: 76 g

Mother: "This cannot compare to my own home-made dishes which are clearly the winner, because aiya, the ones here do not follow the directions and are repulsively made in a mere machine. "

Father: Not bad - pass the soy sauce.

Justina (she/hers):

Thanks for coming out, everyone! Omg, I just love seeing everyone so happy here; can we please take a selfie, please? Yes, ok? Oh oops I took a screenshot, let me try again? Okay, got it! Great, cool! #smile #foodie #familyfun

Grandfather: When is it time to go home? My back is starting to hurt now, and it is way too loud here. Did everyone forget we are in the middle of a pandemic?

Fiance:

Whoa, this is great! Thank you for ordering these. Okay, so thank you for ordering all these dishes, but make sure that you let the server know that we need takeout boxes, okay? And wait, did you remember to order the noodles? I saw they had the best reviews on Yelp when I looked for the optimal order!

Father:

When I was young in Asia, the food we grew up with was nothing like this because in today's generation you all use cold water; in MY day we used boiling hot water to soak all the dishes, which adds more time to take, but NO you HAVE to not follow the process, don't you?

Brother (younger): This is my new bestie! There is no place here for any downers - this is definitely the best meal for anyone, human, dog, awake, or asleep! I would be better off adding some spicy chilli sauce instead, however! Now, if you'll excuse me, I feel a toot coming along...

Enjoy! I know my fiancé loves them! Here is a picture of us retreating in foodie bliss, with all the baozi you could ever dream of, because yes, dreams do come true! :)
