Dao-ben steamed buns were a form of bread available on Akiva, a planet located in the Outer Rim. During the Imperial Era, Master Hyor-ka owned a shop in Myrra, the capital city of Akiva, where he sold these buns. During 4 ABY, Temmin Wexley, a junk dealer, concealed himself beneath the tarp of Hyor-ka's dao-ben steamed bun shop while spying on thugs employed by the crime lord Surat Nuat.
Chuck Wendig's 2015 novel, Aftermath, the initial book of the Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy, included a reference to dao-ben steamed buns.
