"Baozi" (steamed bun) is a traditional Chinese food commonly eaten as a breakfast or snack. It consists of a soft, fluffy dough filled with a variety of savory or sweet fillings. Popular fillings include pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, and vegetables. Bao are typically steamed, which gives them a delicate texture and preserves the flavors of the fillings. As a traditional Chinese delicacy, Baozi has become a symbol of Chinese culture. This unit combines Chinese culture with science by making Baozi to understand how yeast works.
