Mantou, Chinese steamed buns (小圆面包), appeared in the bread festival in Paris from May 7 to May 16.
On May 9, a Chinese attending the festival put a video on Douyin. In the video, a line of mantou was lying among the baked foods on show.
The video quickly went viral on the Internet. In no time, “Chinese Steamed Buns Compete at the French Bread Festival” became a hot topic. It brought much attention to mantou.

Mantou is made with wheat flour (面粉) and yeast (酵母). And then it is steamed for about half an hour. When it is freshly cooked, it produces a nice smell and feels soft. And most people cannot wait to have a bite (咬一口) . Mantou can be also enjoyed in many ways. For example, it can be fried or baked to golden brown.
