breakfast bao zi

I wake thinking about this stuff and rarely forego buying some bao zi for breakfast on my way to work. This picture is of a bao zi stand near my office. I'm still searching for my favorite place. This lady makes the vegetable filling bao zi with a little too much garlic for my liking in the morning.

I can eat 10 of the rou bao (breaded bao zi dumplings stuffed with pork and onions) by myself.

Hmm..I don't think I will try making anything like this for breakfast! I love trying new Chinese recipes, but I will stick to bacon and eggs for the morning!--Cocina Cook
