About Chinese red bean bun

Chinese Red Bean Bun, known as "Dou Sha Bao," is a beloved dessert originating from Chinese cuisine. These soft, fluffy steamed buns are filled with sweet red bean paste, which is made from adzuki beans cooked and sweetened to create a rich, smooth filling. The dough is typically made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and sugar, creating a delicate texture that complements the sweetness inside. Red beans are high in fiber and offer a source of plant-based protein, making the filling a healthier alternative to more processed sweets. However, the bun is often high in added sugars, which should be consumed in moderation. These buns are commonly served as a snack, dessert, or part of dim sum. Their blend of sweetness and light texture has made them a favorite in Chinese culinary traditions, appealing to people of all ages.
