#MakanApaToday Baozhi.

We Hokkiens just called them "pao" and what I have here is "bak pau", which has a barbecue pork filling. The ones without filling are called "mantao".

Baozhi had been eaten in China for more than a thousand years from as early as the Song dynasty.

Some people peel off the outer layer before they eat but I like to eat with it. In the past that's because of hygiene as the baozhi is handled by hands that are often dirty.
