Soft, pillowy and perfectly steamed, Hirata Buns (also known as Bao Buns) are a versatile addition to any menu. Inspired by Asian street food, these buns are ready to fill with your choice of savoury or sweet ingredients.
They arrive pre-cooked and frozen, so you can simply steam and serve in minutes. Their neutral flavour lets your creativity shine, whether you’re building a classic bao or experimenting with new combinations.
Perfect for starters, sharing platters or main dishes, Hirata Buns are a reliable option for busy kitchens. They hold their shape well and stay soft, even when filled and served. With their simple preparation and crowd-pleasing texture, these buns are a smart choice for chefs looking to add a touch of innovation to their menu.
