BBQ pork steam buns, or Char Siu Bao, are a classic dish originating from Chinese cuisine, specifically Cantonese dim sum traditions. These delightful buns feature a soft, fluffy, white outer dough made from wheat flour, yeast, and sugar, which is steamed to perfection. Inside, you'll find a savory and slightly sweet filling made from chopped or shredded char siu pork. The pork is marinated in a blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and aromatic spices, creating its signature smoky, caramelized flavor. While BBQ pork steam buns are a satisfying treat, they are often moderate to high in calories due to the sugar in the filling and dough. However, they can provide protein from the pork. They are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Whether as a snack or part of a dim sum feast, these buns offer a hearty taste of Chinese culinary tradition.
