Steamed buns (Baozi, Xiao Long Bao):

Baozi, large steamed buns, are also known as fluffy dough buns. They are usually filled with pork and other vegetables. Locals love them because they are inexpensive, filling, and delicious.

Noodles:

Noodles are the most popular Chinese dish. You can find them in all shapes and sizes on the streets of China. You can enjoy noodle soup with a variety of meats for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Fried noodles are fast, inexpensive, and delicious.
