About Pork buns

Pork buns, or "char siu bao," are a popular dish from Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed as a dim sum staple. These soft, fluffy buns are typically steamed or baked and filled with savory barbecued pork in a slightly sweet and tangy sauce. The dough is made from a mixture of flour, sugar, and yeast, giving it a light and tender texture. While pork buns are rich in protein from the pork filling, they can also be high in sugar, sodium, and refined carbohydrates, depending on the recipe. Steamed versions are generally lower in calories compared to baked ones, which may have added sugary glazes. When balanced with vegetables or lighter dishes, pork buns can serve as a hearty and flavorful component of a meal. Their satisfying mix of textures and bold flavors makes them a beloved choice in Chinese culinary traditions.
