Chinese Custard Bun, also known as Nai Huang Bao, is a popular steamed dessert originating from Cantonese cuisine. These soft, pillowy buns are filled with a creamy custard made from egg yolks, milk, sugar, and sometimes flour or cornstarch to thicken the mixture. The outer layer is made from a lightly sweetened, yeast-leavened dough, offering a tender texture that complements the rich, smooth filling. While delicious, these buns tend to be high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, making them a less ideal choice for those watching their sugar intake or aiming for low-calorie options. However, they do offer small nutritional benefits, such as protein from the eggs and some vitamins and minerals in the filling. Perfect as an occasional treat, Chinese Custard Buns showcase the harmonious balance of texture and flavor that is a hallmark of traditional dim sum dishes.
