Here’s some more fun lore 👇⭐️ Red Star Yeast originally started out as Meadow Springs Distillery back in 1882 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.⭐️ The first Red Star Yeast plant was on 27th Street in the Menomonee Valley region of Milwaukee.⭐️ In 1919, Meadow Springs Distillery changed the name to Red Star Yeast and shifted focus to compressed yeast amidst the Prohibition Era. And we’ve never looked back!

These soft, pillowy, scrumptious bao buns filled with shredded short rib and coleslaw are everything you’ve been missing! 🙌Our Platinum Yeast gives these buns a perfect rise and flavor, the baking soda helps with tenderizing, and the baking powder aids the yeast in leavening for when the steam hits.Gesine uses duck fat to take the flavor to the next level. (You can substitute shortening.) And sweetened condensed milk adds just a hint of caramel to tie it all together.Full recipe in our bio >>> @redstaryeastIngredients:4 c. (480g) bread flour1 tbs.
