noun baozi · baozis

  1. A Chinese steamed stuffed bun. We drew into a halt: a few huts, a siding, some heaps of abandoned coal. Ragged children were picking them over but they turned and ran for the sleeper coach windows, holding up chipped and coal-blackened bowls for fragments of yesterday’s bread and baozis, pork-filled dumplings.
