Myriad Foods Mung Bean Buns

Filled with a smooth, mellow paste made from sweetened mung beans, these steamed buns are a softly sweet treat rather than a savory one. The pale yellow filling has a delicate, almost nutty flavor and a velvety texture, tucked inside the same fluffy white steamed dough used for classic bao.

Steam the frozen buns over boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes until warm and pillowy. Enjoy them with hot tea or coffee, as a light breakfast, or as a gentle dessert after a meal. The warmth brings out the natural sweetness of the mung bean filling.

Each pack holds four buns in an 8 oz tray, sized for sharing or for keeping a few on hand in the freezer. The filling is sweet and bean-based, lighter and less intense than red bean. Store frozen and steam directly from frozen for the softest result.
