About Banh bao

Banh Bao is a traditional Vietnamese steamed bun with Chinese culinary influences. This fluffy white bun is typically filled with savory ingredients such as ground pork, hard-boiled egg slices, Chinese sausage, and wood ear mushrooms, all seasoned with spices and sauces for rich flavor. Often enjoyed as a snack, street food, or light meal, it’s a convenient, portable option in Vietnamese cuisine. While Banh Bao provides protein and some vitamins from its filling, it may also be high in calories, sodium, and fats depending on preparation methods. The outer dough is made from refined flour, which is lower in fiber and nutrients than whole grain alternatives. Moderation is key when incorporating Banh Bao into a balanced diet, and homemade versions can be customized for healthier options by using lean meats, reducing added salt, or substituting whole wheat flour for the bun.
