Baozi, or bao, is a type of yeast-leavened filled bun in various Chinese cuisines. Commonly known as steamed buns, there are many variations in fillings and preparations, though the buns are most often steamed.

Unfortunately, some Chinese vendors fashion “steamed buns” on the cheap using cardboard and pork fat. If that wasn’t scary enough, the cardboard is sometimes further softened using harmful chemicals.
