Soft and fluffy steamed buns filled with sweet red bean paste, a classic Chinese treat!
Steamed red bean buns or dòushā bāo (豆沙包) are a classic Chinese treat typically eaten for breakfast or a snack, and one of the most popular steamed buns. It is essentially made up of a sweetened adzuki bean filling and soft leavened dough. However, there are versions of these steamed red bean buns in many East Asian cultures such as Jjinppang 찐빵 in South Korea or Mushi manju 蒸し饅頭 in Japan. All filled with red bean paste, and all equally delicious.
