Soft, pillowy, and slightly sweet, these buns are the perfect vessel for all kinds of fillings, from savoury to sweet. Also called "hé yè bǐng" or, when stuffed, "hé yè bāo" in Chinese, they have a long history in Chinese cuisine and are often served in dim sum or street food stalls. Designed to fit in your hand, the folded shape is meant to mimic a lotus leaf. Whether you fill them with crispy tofu, spicy pulled jackfruit, or even a simple slather of hoisin sauce or red bean paste, they bring a sense of tradition and creativity to the table.
