About Mantou
Mantou, often referred to as Chinese steamed bread, is a soft and fluffy staple in Chinese cuisine. Traditionally made from a simple mixture of flour, water, sugar, and yeast, it is steamed rather than baked, creating its characteristic pillowy texture. While mantou might appear plain, it serves as a versatile food, often enjoyed on its own, paired with savory dishes, or used as a base for fillings. Nutritionally, mantou is low in fat but provides a good source of carbohydrates, making it a quick energy option. Whole wheat varieties offer additional fiber and nutrients, making them a healthier choice. However, traditional versions made with refined flour have lower fiber content and can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. Despite its simplicity, moderate consumption of mantou can be part of a balanced diet when paired with nutrient-dense sides, such as vegetables or lean proteins.
