Da Bao (Chinese: 大包) or Dai Bao, is an extra large version of the Chinese steamed bun. When translated, the name literally means big bun.[1] It is commonly sold in Malaysia and Singapore. Compared to the smaller xiaolongbao, the Da Bao uses fully fermented dough, giving it a less dense texture.[1]
The common fillings found in the Da Bao usually consist of either pork or chicken minced meat and a hard boiled egg. Other common fillings include mushroom or Chinese sausage.[2][3] Sweet and vegetarian versions also exist.[1]
