About Chinese bun

Chinese buns, also known as baozi, are soft, fluffy bread rolls often filled with a variety of savory or sweet ingredients. Originating from Chinese cuisine, these steamed buns are a staple in many regions of China and have become popular worldwide. Common fillings include pork, beef, chicken, or vegetables, while sweet varieties may contain red bean paste or custard. Made primarily from wheat flour, yeast, and water, baozi are low in fat, though the nutritional profile varies depending on the filling. Vegetable-filled buns can be a good source of vitamins and minerals, while meat fillings provide protein. However, certain versions may be high in sodium or sugar, especially with salted or sugary fillings. Steaming makes Chinese buns a healthier alternative to fried snacks, but mindful choices regarding fillings can help limit excess calories or additives.
