About Roast pork steamed bun

Roast Pork Steamed Buns, or "Char Siu Bao," are a beloved staple of Cantonese cuisine, recognized for their fluffy, slightly sweet dough and savory filling. The bun’s tender exterior is made from wheat flour, water, sugar, and yeast, while the filling typically consists of diced roast pork, seasoned with a rich blend of soy sauce, hoisin, sugar, and sesame oil. This creates a balance of sweet, salty, and umami flavors. Steamed instead of baked, these buns are lower in fat compared to fried alternatives, making them a lighter option for dim sum lovers. However, the combination of refined carbohydrates and the sugar-laden filling means they are best enjoyed in moderation. They provide a source of protein from the pork and essential energy from the carbs, but their sodium content should be considered for those watching their salt intake. Perfect as a snack or meal, they’re a true comfort food.
