About Pao
Pao, often referred to as bao or baozi, is a soft, steamed bun traditionally filled with savory or sweet mixtures, originating in Chinese cuisine. Typically made from white flour, yeast, sugar, and water, the dough results in a fluffy texture that encases various fillings like spiced meats, vegetables, or sweet red bean paste. Pao can vary nutritionally based on its filling; savory options may offer protein from pork or chicken, while vegetable-filled pao provides fiber and vitamins. However, pao’s refined carb content from white flour and added sugar means they’re best enjoyed in moderation, especially for those monitoring blood sugar or caloric intake. The preparation method—steaming—makes pao a healthier alternative to fried snacks. Popular across East Asia and global food markets, pao combines convenience with comforting flavors, making it a versatile and approachable dish for various diets.
