Bāozi
Baozi (), or simply bao, is a type of yeast-leavened filled bun in various Chinese cuisines. There are many variations in fillings (meat or vegetarian) and preparations, though the buns are most often steamed. They are a variation of ''mantou'' from Northern China. Baozi are popular throughout China and have even made their way into the cuisines of many other countries through the Chinese diaspora. History and etymology Written records from the Song dynasty show the term baozi in use for filled buns. Prior to the Northern Song dynasty (960–1279), the word ''mantou'' was used for both filled and unfilled buns. According to legend, the filled baozi is a variation of manta invented by military strategist Zhuge Liang. Over time ''mantou'' came to indicate only unfilled buns in Mandarin and some varieties of Chinese, although the Wu Chinese languages continue to use ''mantou'' to refer to both filled and unfilled buns.

Mántou
''Mantou'' ( zh, t=饅頭, s=馒头, first=t), often referred to as a Chinese steamed bun, is a white and soft type of steamed bread or bun popular in northern China. Folk etymology connects the name ''mantou'' to a tale about Zhuge Liang. Description ''Mantou'' are typically eaten as a staple food in northern parts of China where wheat, rather than rice, is grown. They are made with milled wheat flour, water and leavening agents. In size and texture, they range from , soft and fluffy in the most elegant restaurants, to over , firm and dense for the working man's lunch. As white flour, being more heavily processed, was once more expensive, white ''mantou'' were something of a luxury in preindustrial China.
