About Bao buns
Bao buns, originating from Chinese cuisine, are soft, pillowy steamed buns traditionally filled with savory or sweet ingredients. The dough is made from a mix of wheat flour, yeast, sugar, and milk, which gives it a slightly sweet, airy texture. Common fillings include pork belly, chicken, or tofu, paired with vegetables and flavorful sauces like hoisin or sriracha mayo. While bao buns provide a satisfying comfort food experience, their health profile varies based on preparation and filling. The bun itself is low in fat but relatively high in carbohydrates, while traditional meat fillings may be fatty. Healthier options like lean protein or vegetable fillings boost nutrients and reduce calories. As a versatile dish, bao buns can be tailored to suit dietary needs, whether indulgent or lighter, making them popular among street food enthusiasts and home cooks alike.
