Mantou ?? - plain steamed bun

Posted by yanti on Monday, April 18, 2011


What is the difference between Chinese bao/baozi ?/?? and mantou ???
Boazi is bun with filling and mantou is without filling. The word bao ? in boazi means 'wrap' so it is obvious with filling.

Mantou ?? is the staple carb for Northern Chinese more than rice, it is eaten at breakfast, lunch and dinner in place of rice. Plain mantou's texture is normally a bit chewy not like Cantonese cha siu
