About Plain steamed bun

Plain steamed buns, known as "mantou" in Chinese cuisine, are a soft, fluffy staple made primarily from white wheat flour, water, yeast, and a small amount of sugar. Originating from China, these buns are often enjoyed as a versatile side dish or snack. Steaming gives them their signature pillowy texture without adding fat or oil. Nutritionally, plain steamed buns are a source of carbohydrates and contain minimal fat, making them a quick energy boost. However, they offer limited protein, fiber, and micronutrients, especially when made with refined white flour. Whole wheat variations can provide more fiber and nutrients, enhancing their overall health benefits. They are low in sodium and free from artificial additives, making them a relatively wholesome option within moderation. Pairing them with protein-rich or vegetable-based dishes can help balance their simplicity with greater nutritional value.
