Steam Bun

about steam buns!

Steam buns, also known as baozi or bao buns, are a type of Chinese pastry that are made from a soft, slightly sweet dough and filled with various savory or sweet ingredients. They are called "steam buns" because they are traditionally steamed, rather than baked or fried, which gives them a moist, tender texture.

Steam buns are a popular food in Chinese cuisine and can be found in many restaurants in the United States. They are often served as a snack or appetizer and are a common street food in China.

Steam buns come in a variety of flavors and fillings. Some common savory fillings include roasted pork, barbecued pork, vegetables, and eggs. Sweet fillings can include red bean paste, custard, or fruit.

To eat a steam bun, simply pick it up with your hands and bite into it, being careful not to burn your mouth as the filling inside can be very hot. Some people also like to dip their steam buns in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or other dipping sauces for added flavor.
