I know this may sound stupid but...

What is fresh bao?

It sounds good but I have no clue what it is. I dont even know if I spelled it right.

From Wikipedia

A baozi (Chinese: 包子; pinyin: bāozi), also known as bao or bau, is a type of steamed, filled bun or bread-like item in Chinese cuisine. In its bun-like aspect it is very similar to the traditional Chinese mantou. It can be filled with meat and/or vegetarian fillings, as well as other possibilities. It can be eaten at any meal in Chinese culture, and is often eaten for breakfast.

According to legend, they were invented by the sage Zhuge Liang.

Well known types of baozi include:

* Cha Siu Baau or Charsiu bau (Simplified Chinese: 叉烧包; Traditional Chinese: 叉燒包;; pinyin: chāshāobāo) or manapua, filled with barbeque-flavoured char siu pork.
* Goubuli a baozi variety from Tianjin; its name literally means, "Dogs don't pay attention to it."
* Xiaolongbao (Chinese: 小笼包; pinyin: xiǎolóngbāo) or tangbao: a soup-flavored baozi from Shanghai. Because it is succulent and prepared with a flour enclosing, it is considered different from other bao types, and more closely resembles a jiaozi
* pineapple bun or bo lo bao: a baked Western style bun with a sweet and crispy topping, although it does not actually contain pineapple.
* Doushabao (Chinese:豆沙包; pinyin: dòushābāo; Hokkien: taosa bau) is a type of baozi filled with sweet red bean paste (the black or dark brown filling).
* Lingyoong bau is a type of baozi filled with sweetened Lotus seed paste (the light brown filling).
* naihuangbao (Chinese: 奶黃包; pinyin: nǎihuángbāo): filled with sweet yellow custard filling.

Sounds mighty tasty. I thought those were dumplings...

oh now i know what it is!!! thanks! It's "Manapua"! I'm from Hawaii and we have these bun things that are filled with usually sweet meat or char siu. Those things are so good. When I was little I used to hate them because my cruel aunts would tell me that the meat was actually dog meat or cats. They were always doing that to me... like the time they told me "Poi" was chocolate and I took a heaping spoonful. I almost threw up...to this day I dont eat poi, which leaves me more of a target for them. Gorammit... I miss home! Thanks for replying!

In Thai, this is called "Salabao." It's usually filled with pork, but can be filled with other things as well.
