For Raphael and Rongrong Yue, bao was more than just a food; it was a way of life. When the couple moved from China to the U.S., they were disappointed by the lack of quality bao options available in stores. As a result, they decided to take matters into their own hands and opened Bao Space in December 2022. Located on 205 N Main St., formerly occupied by Vedge Café which closed its doors in August 2022, Bao Space offers customers freshly-made baos with an authentic taste that can’t be found anywhere else.

Bao is a delicious and unique kind of dumpling that can be stuffed with a variety of savory fillings, such as pork, chicken, or vegetables. To make truly authentic bao, the dough must be prepared correctly to get that fluffy, airy texture for which the dish is known. According to Raphael, an expert on traditional Chinese cuisine, making bao dough requires mixing yeast, water, and milk and allowing it to rise – much like when making bread. Rongrong agrees and adds that using yeast rather than chemical leaveners will give you a far superior end product with more flavor and texture. With these tips in mind, you can now confidently experiment with your home-cooked bao dishes!
