Myriad Foods Sesame Peanut Buns

Sesame Peanut Buns from Myriad Foods wrap a soft, fluffy steamed bun around a filling of ground roasted peanuts and fragrant sesame. The filling is nutty, lightly sweet, and aromatic, with the toasty depth that makes sesame and peanut such a beloved pairing in Cantonese bakeries. The contrast of pillowy white dough and rich, grainy center is the heart of these buns.

Steam the frozen buns over boiling water for about ten to twelve minutes until the dough is soft and the filling is warm and loosened, or microwave one under a damp paper towel. They shine as a dim sum sweet or an afternoon snack with hot tea, and the warm nutty aroma makes them a comforting end to a meal of dumplings and congee.

This 8 oz package contains four individually shaped buns, ready to steam from frozen. Inside each soft wheat-flour bun is a sweet paste of sesame and peanut, unlike the plain mantou in this range, which has no filling. Keep the buns frozen and reseal the bag so the dough stays tender and the filling stays fresh.
