Steamed Roast Pork Buns, known as Cha Siu Bao in Cantonese, are a popular dish in Chinese cuisine, often found in dim sum restaurants. These buns are made by wrapping a soft, fluffy, slightly sweet dough around a savory filling of diced roast pork cooked in a soy-based sauce with sugar, oyster sauce, and spices. Steaming gives the buns their pillowy texture. While rich in flavor, these buns can be high in refined carbohydrates and sugars, depending on the preparation. The filling provides protein from the pork, but it may also include fats and sodium due to the sauces used. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent treat, and pairing it with lighter, vegetable-based dishes can help balance the meal. Steamed Roast Pork Buns are a delicious way to experience the essence of Cantonese culinary tradition!
