Introducing the Gua Bao Bun: soft, steamed buns that originate from the Chinese Fujian region and have now become iconic in Taiwanese cuisine. These buns are essential in Asian street food culture and are loved for their light, airy texture and subtly sweet flavor. Perfect for filling with the tastiest combinations.

Traditionally, Gua Bao Buns are filled with slow-cooked belly pork, fresh vegetables, and a creamy hoisin sauce. But they’re also perfect for your own creations. Our suggestions? Try pulled pork with spicy sriracha mayo or caramelized chicken thigh fillets with pickled cucumber and fresh coriander.

At The Butchery, we love good meat and quality ingredients. Pair the Gua Bao Buns with our tender pork belly or spicy chicken thighs for a dish that’s always a hit. Add some crunch with roasted peanuts or fresh flavors with pickled vegetables. This way, you can easily serve something special.

Whether you’re looking for a quick meal or want to impress at a dinner party, Gua Bao Buns are always a great choice. They’re easy to prepare and add a special, Asian twist to your dish.

You can easily order the Gua Bao Buns online at The Butchery. They’re delivered frozen, so you can always prepare them fresh when it suits you. This ensures the quality stays intact. Convenient, right? Don’t forget to fill your basket with the perfect meat products, such as our juicy pulled pork, seasoned belly pork, or crispy chicken thighs. And add some extra toppings like pickled vegetables or a spicy sauce. With just a few simple steps, you’ll create an impressive dish that everyone will enjoy!

What about Bapao?

The Gua Bao Buns might remind you of the bapao buns you find in the supermarket. While both buns are steamed and have a similar texture, they are quite different. Bapao originally comes from Indonesia and is often filled with spiced minced meat or chicken. The taste and preparation of bapao are clearly distinct. While bapao is usually sold ready-to-eat and reheated in the microwave, Gua Bao Buns give you the opportunity to get creative with fresh ingredients and combinations. They’re more versatile and add a refined touch to your meal that really makes an impression. Try the difference yourself and discover why Gua Bao Buns are a favorite among those who love great flavors!
