The origin of mutton steamed buns

Woks did not appear in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so there were no stir-fried dishes. The main cooking methods were boiling, steaming and barbecue. At that time, rice was mainly produced in the Jiangnan area. People in Guanzhong did not take rice as their staple food, but ate cakes made from wheat. There are three types of cakes: soup cakes, steamed cakes, and sesame cakes. Among them, the way of eating soup cakes may be the prototype of the later mutton steamed buns. At this time, chicken, duck, and fish were not considered meat, and pigs were not bred on a large scale. People ate mutton in large quantities. So they used the method of making soup cakes, boiled the mutton and other ingredients they ate with the cut noodles, and created the delicacy of mutton steamed buns. At least in the early Song Dynasty, mutton steamed buns had been a signature delicacy in the Guanzhong area. Su Shi, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, praised it as "the only sheep soup cooked in Qin Dynasty" after eating mutton steamed buns. The origin of mutton steamed buns
