Chinese bread

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

I have eaten Chinese food in all sorts of countries from Singapore, US to many European countries. I've never seen any bread on the menu (I don't consider prawn toast as Chinese bread).

In curiosity I googled it and found only one recipe for a steamed bread roll rather than baked which is what we normally expect of bread. Albeit this was only a cursory search but I found it rather interesting.

I guess sandwiches are not a big deal in China.

Prawn toast probably isn't even Chinese - like 'chop suey' and 'fortune cookies'.

But - no - I've never seen or heard of any Chinese breads.

The closest thing to bread that I can think of is "meat parcels" which is basically a bread similar in texture to the hotdog bread but it's slightly sweetened and it's usually filled with pork or beef.

In general the Chinese diet is based upon rice rather than wheat hence a lack of bread. Hope this helps

That's what I thought. Though rice is a grain from which it's possible to make flour. But I suppose it may not make bread the way we accept it.

we had toast at breakfast when we were in singapore, trouble was, it was served with a boiled egg..... the egg was boiled to only just above raw and no matter how much we told them to leave the egg in the water longer, every morning it was raw egg on toast

But it won't have been Chinese bread from a Chinese recipe.

I picked up some Chinese bread buns from Gerard Street in Soho some years ago. They were filled with a sweet pork sausage, made mostly from pork fat. Quite nice, but not the sort of thing I'd go out of my way to look for now I've tried them once.

I'm thinking more like the kind of bread you use to wrap other food up in be that a traditional loaf or some kind of flatbread.

The only ones I know of are Bing and Mantou, the former being like a flat bread the latter being a steamed variety.

Mantou is the one I discovered. Not heard of Bing.

Just googled bing. That's more what I was thinking of. Though some sites describe it more as a pancake made with onions.

I shall look out for it next time I'm in the Chinese supermarket.

Thanks for that.
