Steamed buns, also known as steamed buns or steamed buns, are a kind of food steamed with fermented flour (or mixed with fillings) and one of the traditional pasta dishes with Han Chinese characteristics. Simple to make, soft and delicious, they are usually hemispherical or rectangular, ranging in size from 4 to 15 centimeters in diameter.

Adding baking soda when steaming steamed buns can make the steamed buns softer.

3. Basic content
It is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" tells the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo, and after pacifying the southern barbarians, he crossed the river and was blocked by the ghosts of those who died in battle. Facing this scene, Zhuge Liang was very anxious. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to offer sacrifices to the River God, asking God to bless and punish demons and protect living beings. Zhuge Liang could not bear to use human heads as a sacrifice, so he invented steamed buns as a substitute. So he ordered the sheep and pigs to be killed, rolled into dough, and thrown into the water as an offering. Later, people adopted this custom. This is probably the origin of "steamed buns".
