Ingredient list looks solid.
I can’t buy this commercially because I like to pick my favorites out of the mix (and leave out the stuff that grosses me out )
Found a pic from last year (apparently I didn’t take any the many times we ate it this winter) — it’s the vegetable on the right:
First discovered Liege waffles @ Seabrook Waffle Co. (on 146 @ the bridge, for locals) and loved 'em. That’s outside my driving range now and I found these on Amazon. You get a six pack, in cellophane, shelf stable. Prepared with a very brief zapping (10-15 secs) or not. 410 cal per waffle. Now I see both Whole Foods (365 line) and TJ’s have their own products.
The only waffle iron(s) I have are stove top and don’t work on my induction cookers so I’m thinking of buying a new one.
I’m working my way through the frozen bao that’s available to me. I haven’t hit the Asian grocery stores yet, but i think i’ve done everything in the supermarkets here except the cheeseburger bao that is sitting in my freezer. Bao is better microwaved than i would have thought, but you have to get the timing just right because even a little over degrades them quite a bit.
Oh, and i tried Wow Bao pork soup dumplings, too. Overpriced at regular price, IMO, but they were on BOGO, so I got some. Pretty good.
Only frozen bao I’ve ever had was a Filipino siopao which I tried after being introduced to the dish from a small Filipino bakery near me (that unfortunately didn’t last). Otherwise, I’ve always just picked up baos from bakeries in Chinatown. Since I don’t get out much anymore I’ll look forward to your ratings.
Yes I remember being pleased about how well they came ouf of the micro.
Can’t remember the brand name or find a product pic online that looks familiar.
Here’s what I’ve had so far. That’s how I’d rank them. I haven’t had any I’d say are bad. The cheeseburger bao is at the bottom because that’s just not what I’m looking for when I want bao. It tastes quite a bit like a McDonald’s burger. The Good & Gather (Target store brand) is toward the bottom because the filling is skimpy. It tastes all right.
Preferred:
Wei Chuan Hong Kong Style Cha Shu Buns
Wow Bao Chinese Style BBQ Pork Bao
Laoban Chinese Style BBQ Pork Bao Buns
Laoban Sesame Chicken Bao Buns
Okay:
Wow Bao Teriyaki Chicken Bao
Laoban Spicy Beef Bao Buns
Good & Gather Pork Bao Buns
Wow Bao Cheeseburger Bao
These two babies. Since I already love their regular buttermilk ranch I am confident I will love the herb ranch, too. Also curious about the garlic Caesar.
Saw this yesterday at Market Basket, and decided to try it.
JBO is a wholesale artisan bakery in Methuen, MA, and they supply fresh baked bread to pretty much all major supermarkets in New England, many local stores, and to Albertsons in the Southwest, Vegas/Utah area, and southern CA.
$5.49 a loaf, i figured “it’s a treat”.
Made French Toast this morning with it. (Power of Suggestion is strong with this bread. )
Very thick cuts…should have only gone with two slices, but my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Couldn’t finish it all.
Light cinnamon taste, which I liked. I have a tendency to sprinkle too much cinnamon into the egg batter when made with plain bread and one slice is too cinnamony, and the other less so.
Will take some in to work tomorrow for toasting and see how that does.
Will I buy it again? Yeah, but only as a very rare treat for myself.
Brought in a piece to toast at work; spread with butter. It’s rather plain this way. A friend suggested peanut butter, which I’ll try and remember for tomorrow.
Otherwise, I’ll freeze the remaining half loaf for easy weekend French Toast breakfasts.
Just stumbled back on this thread so obviously really late reply, and I hope you’ve since enjoyed the candy. Hua mei (is a dried plum snack common in old school Chinese snack lore. You’ve likely seen them in the snack aisles if you’ve visited many Chinese grocers or the Aji Ichiban stores. It’s a specific variety of plum, dried, and then coated in a salty or salt/sugar coating that makes them look an ashen brown color. They come either just salty, or the salty-sugary variety. Many have the pits, but selling the dried fruit cut into slivers with the same coatings is also common. One of my favorite snacks as a kid.
Called Li Hing Mui in Hawaii, but have never had the kind from Hawaii that typically has a reddish coating.
What flavour is this candy? The illustration looks like a green peach
That’s too bad. Maybe you got a bum one? I love them, and they’re cheaper than that at both Sam’s Club and Wegmans, where one can get them by the pound.
