The sweetest new addition to P.F. Chang's holiday menu are Asian-inspired dessert balls that are shareable and just the right size to cap off a festive meal. The Bao Donuts are rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with coffee-vanilla, raspberry and miso-caramel sauces for dipping.
Over the holiday season, those who visit P.F. Chang's can also enjoy other festive additions to its menu like Spicy Miso Ramen, Tonkotsu Ramen and Korean Bulgogi Steak.
Many restaurants have been inspired to put their own unique spin on bao but most of the creations take the form of savory sandwiches and dishes. These dessert balls offer a completely different way for people to experience the popular steamed bun dish, which is traditionally filled with pork.
