The Gua Bao (Traditional: 割
包 / 刈包;
Pinyin: guàbāo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: koah-pau; the literal meaning of "bread
cut"), also known as steamed bao or steamed bao, pork belly bun, or ambiguously, bao, is a popular snack in
Taiwan and Fujian consisting of a piece of boiled meat and other spices flanked
between plain steamed buns.
Steamed bread is usually 6-8 cm (2.4-3.1
inches), half-circle and flat, with a horizontal fold when opened, giving the
the impression that it has been sliced. Traditional stuffing stuff for bao cake is
a piece of pork cooked to reddish, usually processed with fried suan cai
(mustard and mustard pickles), coriander and peanuts.
The food is known in
ordinary language in some areas of Taiwan under the name hó͘-kā-ti (Chinese: 虎
咬
豬;
literal meaning "pig-bitten pig") because of the bread-like shape of
its gaping mouth and its visible contents. Gua bao are also called "Taiwanese
hamburgers" because some of the new ingredients are used as stuffing
stuff, like fried chicken, fish, eggs, and boiled beef.
