Chinese Pork Buns, or "Char Siu Bao," are a staple of Cantonese cuisine, often served during dim sum meals. These fluffy, steamed buns are filled with seasoned barbecue pork, known as char siu, which is marinated in a sweet and savory sauce made from soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and spices. The outer bun is made from a dough of flour, yeast, sugar, and milk, creating a soft yet slightly sweet texture. While flavorful and satisfying, Chinese Pork Buns are relatively high in carbohydrates due to the dough and calories from the fatty pork filling. They do, however, offer protein from the pork and are lower in fat when compared to fried alternatives. Moderation is key, as they can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed occasionally. Their portability and hearty texture make them a popular comfort food across Asia and beyond.
