About Bao
Bao, also known as steamed buns, is a soft and fluffy bread-based dish originating from Chinese cuisine. Typically made from a mixture of flour, yeast, sugar, and milk, bao is steamed rather than baked, giving it a unique, pillowy texture. These buns often come filled with a variety of ingredients, including savory options like pork, beef, chicken, or vegetables, as well as sweet fillings such as red bean paste or custard. Bao can be a balanced option depending on the filling chosen, offering protein and essential nutrients when stuffed with lean meats or vegetables. However, variations with fatty meats or sugary fillings may be higher in calories and less nutrient-dense. Generally low in fat due to steaming, bao avoids the use of oil common in fried foods, making it a lighter choice for meals or snacks within a balanced diet.
