Red Bean Bun (红豆包) is a traditional Chinese snack made with a sweet red bean paste filling and soft, fluffy dough. It is often steamed or baked and is a popular treat, especially during the winter months.
At the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, red bean buns gained global attention when Maltese snowboarder Jenise Spiteri was seen eating one during a competition break, earning her the nickname "red bean bun girl" in China. These buns are not only delicious but also symbolize Chinese culinary culture, often enjoyed during festivals and celebrations.
