About Lotus bun

Lotus Bun, also known as a lotus leaf bun or "hua juan" in Chinese cuisine, is a soft, fluffy steamed bun shaped like a folded taco. Traditionally made with wheat flour, yeast, sugar, and water, its mildly sweet and airy texture serves as a versatile base for savory fillings like braised pork belly, pickled vegetables, or tofu. Originating from China, this staple is often featured in dim sum or street food. While the bun itself is low in fat and cholesterol-free, it is primarily a carbohydrate source and may contain added sugar, making portion control important for balanced nutrition. Pairing it with lean proteins and nutrient-rich vegetables can enhance its overall health value. Its simple, wholesome ingredients make it a lighter alternative to fried bread options in many cuisines.
