About Baozi

Baozi, also known as steamed buns, are a popular dish in Chinese cuisine with origins tracing back thousands of years. These fluffy buns are made from white or whole wheat flour and are filled with a variety of ingredients, such as pork, beef, chicken, vegetables, or sweet red bean paste, depending on the type. Baozi can be both savory or sweet and are typically steamed, creating their soft, pillowy texture. Nutritionally, baozi offer a balance of carbohydrates from the dough and protein from the meat or plant-based fillings. The vegetable fillings provide fiber and essential vitamins, making them a relatively wholesome snack or meal option. However, the healthiness largely depends on the ingredients; for instance, fillings with fatty meats or added sugars can increase calories and saturated fat. Opting for whole wheat dough and vegetable-based fillings can make baozi a lighter, nutrient-rich choice.
