What steamed bun is filled with lotus seed paste? The answer is lotus seed bun.

Lotus seed buns are Chinese baozi commonly served as dim sum. Their yeast-leavened dough surrounds a sweet, smooth filling made from cooked and ground lotus seeds, usually sweetened and blended into a paste. The Cantonese name is 蓮蓉包, romanized as lián róng bāo in Mandarin.

Lotus seed paste is also a classic filling for mooncakes and other Chinese pastries. In dim sum restaurants, the bun is generally steamed, giving it a soft, pale exterior rather than the browned crust of a baked bun. The dough is traditionally related to that used for char siu bao, although the filling is completely different.

A festive variation is the longevity peach, shaped and tinted to resemble a peach. It is served at birthdays for older people as a symbol of long life. The bun is easy to confuse with cocktail buns or other sweet dim sum buns, but its defining feature is the lotus-seed filling.
