Chicken, pork and bamboo shoots fill these steamed buns. Eat them with tea as part of a seated Yangzhou morning.
How it is made
Diced chicken, pork and bamboo shoots are cooked into a savory filling, enclosed in leavened wheat dough and steamed. The small dice give the filling a clear texture rather than a smooth mince.
Flavour & texture
Soft, airy bread surrounds juicy meat and firmer bamboo-shoot pieces, with a rounded savory flavor.
Local roots & traditions
Yangzhou's three-dice buns are closely associated with seated morning tea, where buns appear alongside other small dishes rather than as a hurried takeaway alone.
