Bao Zhe is the generic name for them. If it's a sweet and savory filling they're probably BBQ pork bao zhe.

is that pronounced: "bow" like a boats end? and

"zee" like just the letter Z?

I want to be able to ask for them in restaurants. :)

Bao as in bow as in bend over

see now that makes me wonder if this is a joke. like tricking someone to page for Mike Hunt over the PA?

Yummy 😋
