What are red bean buns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most popular Chinese bao\/bun dishes, red bean buns, known as Dou Sha Bao (豆沙包), consists of two delicious components: a leavened dough wrapper that’s pillowy soft and fluffy filled with a creamy, sweet paste made of adzuki beans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they’re enjoyed all year round, as breakfast, snack or dinner staple, for me red bean buns are always associated with Chinese New Year. In northern Chinese households like my family, cooking a big batch of Mantou (plain steam buns)<\/a> and red bean buns is a ritual of New Year preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m very excited to share the recipe for this special treat that always warms my heart and eases my homesickness around this time of year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
