Bao buns, originating from Northern China over a thousand years ago, were traditionally made as filled steamed buns called "baozi,". Popularized during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD) they have since become a staple in Chinese cuisine. You'll love loading up your bao buns with all your favourite fillings, but beware—deliciously sticky fingers and a delightful mess are part of the fun!
