How to serve fresh bao buns

How to serve fresh bao buns - Served table with breakfast on street

So I would like to make bao buns fresh on my food truck. What would be the best method of steaming. I proof, roll out and proof again then steam for 10 minutes. I guess I can't steam them to order, what would be the best way to go about this. Should I just make as many as I can in the morning? what would be the best way to store them to keep them soft and moist. Should I re-steam before serving?

I appreciate any ideas. Thanks!

Bao are very forgiving. Food truck aside for a moment, as I don't know what kind of equipment you are carrying, bao can be prepared, steamed, cooled, then frozen. They can be re-steamed directly from the freezer prior to service with no problem. You can also make them on the day they will be served. You can steam, cool/refrigerate, then re-steam...or time it so that they are in the steamer during service. Depending on your volume, you can just keep a steamer stocked with the right number of buns. They can hang out there for a while with no problem.
