Mantou is a simple and versatile type of steamed bun that is widely enjoyed in various Asian cuisines. These plain steamed buns are made from a basic dough consisting of flour, yeast, sugar, and water. They have a soft and fluffy texture, making them perfect for soaking up sauces or enjoying on their own. Mantou can be served as a side dish, used as a bun for sandwiches, or even enjoyed as a dessert when filled with sweet fillings like red bean paste.
