steamed buns
Fluffy Chinese dumplings
Steamed buns are soft, fluffy bread made by cooking dough over boiling water rather than baking it.
The technique is common across East and Southeast Asian cuisines, producing varieties like Chinese baozi (filled with meat or vegetables), plain mantou, and Cantonese char siu bao.
The steaming process creates a pillowy texture distinct from oven-baked breads.
We ordered steamed buns filled with barbecue pork.
