Spicy Beef Bao Buns, 10 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these spicy beef bao buns in the frozen or refrigerated Asian dumpling section — an easy grab for a quick weekend snack or late-night craving. They feel indulgent and comforting with a spicy kick, but the soft pillowy texture and long ingredient list (including emulsifiers, chemical leaveners and processed oils) signal industrial manufacturing and convenience-style processing.
