Wow bao These molten chocolate bao'buns are, in truth, a small but historic breakthrough. The itsu [grocery] mission is to dream up new and wonderful food ideas with our partners in Japan, Korea and China. Every now and then the team hit a bullseye; this is one such lucky example. After more than 50 failed trials, we managed to get rich quality chocolate to flow, molten warm, from inside the fluffy bao'bun. We also made a salted caramel flavour blended with umami miso, which blew our socks off. Serve them hot with ice cream or fruit; dust them [cappuccino style] with chocolate powder, or for the ultimate treat, plant a birthday candle dead centre.
