Making Baozi (Steamed Bun) - The Power of Yeast
by Linyong Yao
"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. Additionally, students get to enjoy the delicious taste of Baozi which are made by themselves.
