Ingredients
- 12 steamed buns (baozi)
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 cup bok choy, shredded
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 8 shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 cup sweet red bean paste
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1/2 cup water

Instructions
- Prepare the filling for the steamed buns by combining ground pork, shredded Napa cabbage, carrots, bok choy, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the filling mixture and cook until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Set aside.
- For the shrimp fried rice, combine cooked jasmine rice with shrimp in a large wok or skillet. Stir fry over high heat until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Season with soy sauce and sesame oil to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare the sweet red bean paste filled sesame balls by mixing glutinous rice flour with water until a dough forms. Roll the dough into small, round balls, then flatten them slightly. Place a spoonful of sweet red bean paste in the center of each dough ball and wrap it up, sealing the edges tightly.
- Steam the filled sesame balls for about 15 minutes or until they are fully cooked and have a slightly firm texture on the outside. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to garnish.
- Assemble the breakfast feast by placing the steamed buns, shrimp fried rice, and sesame balls in separate sections of an elegant serving platter, creating a visually appealing spread that invites indulgence.
