Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and chop.

  2. Step 2

    Pour off all but 1 tsp bacon fat. Crack eggs into the same skillet and scramble over medium heat until just set, 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Toss scrambled eggs with soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and half the scallions off the heat.

  4. Step 4

    Warm bao in the microwave for 45 seconds or place cut-side down in the hot skillet for 30 seconds per side.

  5. Step 5

    Divide egg mixture and bacon between bao. Top with remaining scallions. Serve immediately.
