August 22nd is Bao Day, celebrating the kind of dumplings originally from China. Also known as 'baozi' and ‘hot Asian buns,’ they come with various fillings, such as pork, veggies, sweet custard, chocolate, Chinese sausage, and more. It is believed that the military leader Zhuge Liang invented the buns, which spread to Asia first and then to other parts of the world. These white-dough dumplings steamed to perfection are typical fast food in many parts of Asia.
This is the perfect day to read Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao by Kat Zhang and Charlene Chia. Once you have read it, eat some bao make some bao or get to know Amy Wu better by reading the other books about her.
