Burgers Around the World

Leave it to China to put its own spin on a worldwide favorite. While you can get the traditional han bao (or hanbao) at the Western food chains, there are also the more Chinese versions that resemble something along the lines of pork buns. In these cases, the buns are sweet and the filling is made of pork or barbecued pork slices. Another version offers a bun composed of rice, a patty of chicken and sauce. It may look like a burger, but it is far from the standard American burger.
