About Shengjian bao

Shengjian Bao, originating from Shanghai cuisine, is a popular Chinese pan-fried bun known for its savory flavor and satisfying texture. These buns are typically made with a yeast-leavened dough and stuffed with a filling of pork, often accompanied by gelatinized broth that becomes hot and soupy during cooking. A sprinkle of chopped scallions and sesame seeds typically garnishes the golden, crispy exterior. Shengjian Bao provides a source of protein from the meat filling, but its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation. The combination of refined flour and frying increases its calorie and carbohydrate content and adds a moderate amount of fat. While these buns are rich in flavor, they are best enjoyed in moderation if you're watching fat or sodium intake, as the filling and cooking process can contribute to higher levels. Pairing them with fresh vegetables can offer balance to this indulgent treat.
