White Chinese buns, commonly known as "mantou," are a staple in Chinese cuisine. These soft, fluffy buns are made from simple ingredients: wheat flour, water, yeast, and a touch of sugar or oil for flavor. Traditionally steamed, mantou have a mild taste that pairs well with savory or sweet accompaniments. Originating in Northern China, they were historically a convenient and filling alternative to rice. Mantou are low in fat and cholesterol, making them a relatively healthy carbohydrate option. However, they provide limited fiber and protein, so their nutritional balance depends on accompanying dishes. While the plain bun is a healthier choice than deep-fried varieties, moderation is key due to its reliance on refined flour. Ideal for breakfast or as a side, mantou showcase the versatile simplicity of Chinese culinary traditions.
