About Duck-shaped bun

Duck-shaped buns are whimsical, steamed buns crafted to resemble ducks, popular in East Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese dim sum. Typically made from a mixture of wheat flour, water, yeast, and sugar, these buns have a soft, fluffy exterior. They are often filled with either sweet ingredients like red bean paste or custard, or savory options such as minced pork or chicken. While their charming appearance adds a playful touch to dining, their nutritional profile varies depending on the filling. Sweet fillings may be high in sugar, while savory versions can contain significant sodium or fat. However, steamed preparation keeps the bun lower in calories compared to fried alternatives. They are a moderate source of carbohydrates and provide a quick burst of energy, making them a delightful treat when enjoyed in moderation. Perfect for special occasions, they blend culinary artistry with comforting flavors.
