About Char siu bao
Char Siu Bao, a staple in Chinese cuisine, is a soft, fluffy steamed or baked bun filled with savory-sweet char siu pork. The filling is made with marinated barbecue pork, typically coated in a mixture of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and Chinese five-spice, providing a rich and flavorful taste. The dough is slightly sweet and tender, making it a perfect contrast to the filling. While Char Siu Bao is delicious and satisfying, its nutritional profile varies. The dish can be high in protein due to the pork but may also contain added sugars and saturated fats from the marinade. Steamed versions are lower in calories and fat compared to baked ones, which may sometimes include a glaze. Moderation is key, and pairing it with a balanced meal can help enjoy this traditional dim sum treat as part of a healthy diet.
