Steamed buns, also known as baozi, are a type of Chinese bread made from a soft, fluffy dough. They are typically filled with various ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, or sweet pastes, and are cooked by steaming. This cooking method gives the buns their light texture and helps retain moisture, making them a popular choice in many Asian cuisines. These buns can be found in various forms, including char siu bao (barbecue pork buns) and mantou (plain steamed buns). Steamed buns are often enjoyed as snacks or part of a meal and are commonly served in dim sum restaurants, where they are enjoyed by people of all ages.
