About Char su bow
Char Siu Bao, originating from Cantonese cuisine, is a popular dim sum dish featuring sweet and savory flavors. These steamed buns are filled with Char Siu, a Chinese-style barbecue pork marinated in a blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and spices, giving it a distinctive caramelized taste. The soft, fluffy bun is made from a combination of flour, sugar, yeast, and water, providing a tender contrast to the rich pork filling. While Char Siu Bao is a source of protein from the pork, its marinade is often high in sugar and sodium, making moderation key for those mindful of their salt and sugar intake. The steamed preparation is lower in fat compared to fried alternatives, making it a somewhat healthier choice within the realm of indulgent dim sum dishes. Perfect as a treat, Char Siu Bao offers a delightful balance of texture and flavor rooted in Chinese culinary tradition.
