crouchingdragon Posted June 13, 2007 at 12:26 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 at 12:26 PM Please can someone give me some information about a snack/bun which reportedly has its origins with the Manchu. I believe in pinyin it would be spelled boa boa but not sure. Not bao bao ,possibly spelled bo bo. Is this in fact a generic term for a roundish-shaped bun or does boa boa refer to a specific type of bun with specific ingredients ? I have seen boa boa served on a plate with fish.

skylee Posted June 13, 2007 at 01:03 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 at 01:03 PM It is 餑餑 (bōbo). It is a generic term for steamed buns, pastries, etc. 清代滿族的主食以麵類為主，但是風味變化甚多，這是因為原料乃麥、黍、粱、粟、糜等多種穀物，味道酸黏酥涼。最重要的作物就是麥與黍，加入糖或椒鹽，以蒸、炒、炕等方式製作「餑餑」，餑餑是滿族人對於麵食的統稱。 (source) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
