Beef bun (Niu rou bao)

(Beef bun, 牛肉包)

Beef bun is a Hong Kong-style pastry. It consists of dough that's filled with ground beef, often with the addition of chopped onions or curry, then shaped into a roll and baked. The dough is usually made with a combination of sugar, flour, water, milk, yeast, and cream.


Before baking, the bun is brushed with sugar water in order to develop a nice glaze. The buns can be found in most Hong Kongese bakeries or Chinatown bakeries overseas. Most local bakeries place a dollop of seaweed or garlic to make beef buns stand out.
