Chinese bread, often referred to as mantou or bao, is a staple in Chinese cuisine, originating from Northern China. Typically made from wheat flour, water, and yeast, these steamed or baked buns are soft and fluffy, with variations that include savory fillings like meats and vegetables or sweet fillings like red bean paste. Mantou, unfilled versions, are often enjoyed as a side dish or snack. Nutritionally, Chinese bread is a good source of carbohydrates, making it a quick energy provider. Variants with whole grain flour offer more fiber and nutrients. However, filled versions can be higher in calories and fats depending on the ingredients, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. These breads are generally low in sugar, making them a lighter alternative to many Western baked goods. Their versatility and simplicity have made them a cherished component of many Asian meals.
