About Steamed pork buns

Steamed Pork Buns, known as "Char Siu Bao" in Cantonese, are a popular dim sum dish from Chinese cuisine. These fluffy, tender buns are made from a slightly sweet, yeast-leavened dough that encases a savory filling of marinated barbecue pork. The pork is often seasoned with a blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and spices, giving it a rich, flavorful profile. Steamed rather than baked, the buns have a soft texture and an appealing lightness. Nutritionally, Steamed Pork Buns offer a balance of protein from the pork and carbohydrates from the dough, but they can be high in sugars and sodium due to the marinade and sauces used. They are low in fat compared to fried options, making them a lighter choice among dim sum dishes. Portion control is key, as their sweetness and softness can make them easy to overconsume.
