Globetrotters, it’s that time again! Pack your bags—our Veroni on the Road adventure continues, and this stop takes us all the way to China, home to one of the world’s most iconic street foods: the Gua Bao 🥟
These fluffy, folded buns are soft, slightly sweet, and traditionally filled with savory meat and crisp veggies. Loved across Asia (and beyond!), Gua Bao are the ultimate handheld comfort food—tender, flavorful, and endlessly customizable.
For our Veroni twist, we’re giving this classic a taste of Italy! Our sliced and grilled Mortadella becomes the star of the filling, blending beautifully with crunchy cabbage and a drizzle of soy sauce. It’s the perfect fusion of East and West: familiar, surprising, and absolutely delicious.
Here’s what you’ll need:
-
Veroni Mortadella, sliced and grilled
-
Green cabbage
-
Soy sauce
-
Flour
-
Water
-
Salt
Start by mixing flour, water, and a pinch of salt to make your soft bao dough. Let it rest, then shape and steam until fluffy and light. Fill each warm bun with grilled Veroni Mortadella slices, a handful of crisp cabbage, and a touch of soy for that savory balance.
The result? A perfect bite that’s both comforting and exciting—Italian flavor meeting Chinese tradition in one soft, flavorful bun.
So, whether you’re planning a dinner with friends or a fun cooking night at home, let your taste buds travel with us.
