Baozi, jiaozi, xianbing and roubing are some of China’s most familiar stuffed foods. But in the northeast, the grain of choice tends to be corn. Caituanzi (菜团子) are made in a similar fashion to baozi and jiaozi, but with a cornflour wrap that’s purported to lower pressure while filling nutritional needs.
Most caituanzi are stuffed with suancai, a kind of Chinese fermented cabbage that tastes sour. Many people believe that the sour pickled vegetable is good for the stomach. Go to recipe in this link: Caituanzi, the Baozi of the Northeast.
My first visit to Beijing, China, was 15th of April to 15th of May 2007. Beijing is in my heart forever since then. Our 3 room apartment is in the Minan Residential Complex at Dongzhimen Nei Dajie, Dong Cheng District, Beijing. Local street is Dong Yang Wei Jie. Close to Gui Jie food street & the subway station Dongzhimen, busses, bicycling or walking to see all of central Beijings interesting sights. I´ve been to Beijing also in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2014. Who could ask for more?
