About Pork bun

Pork buns, or "char siu bao," are a popular dish originating from Cantonese cuisine in southern China. These steam-cooked or baked buns are filled with a savory-sweet mixture of marinated barbecue pork, typically flavored with soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, and sugar. The tender dough provides a soft and fluffy texture, complementing the meaty filling. Pork buns are high in protein due to the pork content, but the sweetness in the sauce and refined flour used in the dough contribute to higher carbohydrate and sugar levels. While they offer energy and some essential nutrients, they can also be calorie-dense and lower in fiber. Moderation is key when enjoying these as part of a balanced diet. Pork buns are beloved worldwide for their delicious blend of flavors and textures, standing as a staple of dim sum and Chinese street food culture.
