These steamed buns are made from flour dough and filled with meat and other ingredients. In western Japan (西日本) including Osaka, they are called Buta Man (豚まん). The savory buns are usually steamed inside the bamboo steamer and taste the best. Everyone has staples in their freezer–a pint of ice cream, a box of waffles, or a bag of frozen peas. The freezer staples I can't do without are frozen rice, frozen man-tou, frozen dumplings and finally, some sort of savory bun, like these steamed pork buns (baozi, 包子 in Chinese).
