Place steamer basket onto the steamer pot. Steam baos on low heat for 10 mins. (Insert a chopstick between the lid and pot to create a gap for venting.)

Tips
Keep your baos at their best by allowing proper venting. Leave a gap between the non-bamboo lid and steamer basket to avoid water drips that may affect the texture during thermal changes (soaked baos may contract and harden).
