Función Premium
Char Siu Bao presents a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors, creating a delightful contrast that is both satisfying and addictive.
The core flavor profile hinges on the char siu (barbecue pork), which is marinated in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder, and Shaoxing wine, giving it a distinctively sweet, savory, and slightly smoky taste. The bun itself is subtly sweet and fluffy, providing a neutral canvas that complements the rich pork filling. The combination of these elements creates a complex flavor that is balanced and deeply satisfying.
Función Premium
Perfect Pork
Use pork shoulder or butt for the char siu, as it has enough fat to stay moist during cooking. Don't overcook the pork, as it will become dry.
Fluffy Bun
Use a good quality yeast and allow the dough to rise properly to ensure a light and airy bun. Over-kneading can make the bun tough.
Proper Steaming
Steam the buns over high heat to ensure they cook quickly and evenly. Avoid opening the steamer frequently, as this can release the steam and cause the buns to collapse.
Glaze Consistency
The filling should be saucy but not watery. Adjust the cornstarch slurry accordingly to achieve the correct consistency. A thicker glaze prevents the bun from getting soggy.
