Char Siu Bao, also known as Barbecue Pork Bun, is a beloved dim sum item that features a fluffy and slightly sweet steamed bun filled with tender and flavorful barbecued pork. The bun dough is made with yeast, flour, sugar, and lard, resulting in a soft and pillowy texture. The filling is made by marinating pork with a mixture of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and other seasonings, then roasting it until it becomes caramelized and succulent. The combination of the fluffy bun and savory-sweet pork filling creates a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. Char Siu Bao is a staple in dim sum restaurants and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
