Chinese mantou bread is a bun that my children and, of course, the Chinese themselves simply adore...
Chinese mantou bread is a bun made from steamed yeast dough. Such breads are prepared not only in China, but also in Mongolia, Nepal, and Japan. They go well with first courses, side dishes and, if served with condensed milk, jam or honey, they will work perfectly as a dessert.
If desired, during the formation of the bun, you can put any filling inside: minced meat, jam, toffee or sun-dried tomatoes.
