  • Learn how to make Steamed Barbecue Pork Buns (Char Siu Bao)! I was going to call this amazingly delicious steamed, stuffed meat bun the hamburger of China, but I’ve never actually been there, and I may be overestimating its popularity. Nevertheless, this is a fun technique to learn, and will work with any and all fillings. Visit foodwishes.blogspot.com/2018/... for the ingredients, more information, and many, many more video recipes. I hope you enjoy this delicious Steamed Barbecue Pork Buns recipe!

    The constant backtracking is adorable! It's a really encouraging thing for aspiring cooks to see that apparent failures during the process can still have fantastic results so you've got to persevere and trust your instincts sometimes.

    The protip if you don't want to bother looking for that Chinese dumpling flour is to add some turmeric into your dough. Then "but why isn't it white" turns into "it's yellow because of the turmeric". Other colors work nicely too, like green for instance. This is especially useful if you're making them with different fillings, you can color code which one is which, and for none of them will it be obvious that the color isn't white because you just couldn't be bothered with that flour.

    This is what I like most about you Chef John, you inspire courage when you're willing to be vulnerable in your videos in admitting you're not an expert on these but giving them a shot anyway. And they looked great so now I the layman feel empowered to give this recipe a shot.

    Chef John, Your bao technique is just fine.
    Most Asian housewives can't do as well.
    Your bao look like the Vietnamese style not tall, but squat and smaller.
    If you live near an Asian market you can buy the prepackaged dough flour mix in a bag for a little more than a dollar or so.
    I buy it on sale for 99 cents so I stock up as they keep well.
    Sometimes the instructions are in English. If you get a bag of what you want, cut the English instructions out and save it as your next bag might not have English instructions. In time you can make the dough blindfolded.
    Bags of different dough flour mix for dumplings, Potstickers, Har Gow and other types of goodies are available too. I actually have found 5 different kinds of dough flour mixes in my travels. There may be even more.
    One tip I got from a Taiwanese housewife was to use a combination of 1/2 water and 1/2 milk for your bao. I liked the taste and texture better than with only water.
    I think that's the Asian cooking tip that is the western equivalent tip of using a little water in your cake mix for a better texture. Chef John should weigh in on that tip.
    I always read as many of the comments I can. Sometimes hundreds.
    The funniest ones are the "Can I substitute this for that?". Sure you can. Be daring with your ingredients. That's the fun of cooking!
    Recipes like Waldorf Salad, Pears Helene, Shepards Pie and many others were invented out of not wanting to waste food in a home or a restaurant.
    You should look in your refrigerator and see what main course and sides you can make out of all your leftovers. Save money and invent your signature dish.
    The takeaway from Chef John for me is technique. With his Training & Experience in food preparation you might really learn something useful.
    His videos on Turkish Delight and even Chinese scallion pancakes were very useful to me although I am quite proficient on those and many other recipes he has done videos on. I learn something new and polish my old techniques on every cooking recipe Chef John does. Thank you and God bless you Chef John.

    You can actually make these a bit whiter simply by adding a small amount of white vinegar to the steaming water. Sadly when I tried making these a few years ago I didn’t have any white vinegar so I used red wine vinegar which resulted in really ugly kind of red dumplings lol. They did still taste yum though.

Instead of American southern food. And to me that's cool. That there are different foods that are no where near the same to where im from. You've inspired me. I have cooked so many amazing things in the past year. And that's because of you. I am I high school drop out. But yove inspired me so much to the point im getting my GED and going to apply for culinary school. And im going to follow my dream and hopefully cook in every corner of the golbe. .... Thank you.

    Chef John I made your recipe yesterday.
    I like to follow your style of cooking technique
    They looked and tasted as I remembered them in years past.
    I used a $1.19 package of Premixed Bao flour I had.
    I folded them like you did and let them rest a while before steaming.
    I had a bit of BBQ pork in the freezer that I had left over from the Song Dynasty.
    Then I made the filling with TONS of onions.
    Onions flavored with BBQ pork.
    I really like pork buns.
    I ONLY like pork buns.
    I've tried chicken, vegetable, stew, curry, 5 spice beef and the Vietnamese ones with hard boiled egg, ground pork, and who knows what.
    I like BBQ pork buns steamed or baked...PERIOD.
    I've had BBQ pork buns in 17 different countries and I think the ones in San Francisco are the best of all the Cha Siu Bao I've ever munched.
    I spell your "Char" as "Cha" because that how It's pronounced where I was born...the most Northern part of Southern China.
    It snows there in winter.
    Can you guess where that is?

    Thankfully when I moved back to the US from Southeast Asia, I ended up relocating to Southern CA & was easily able to find some of my favorite Asian dishes like these steamed pork buns (soft, lightly sweetened & fluffy) which I believe were referred to as "Siopao" in Hong Kong??? Thanks, Chef John for reminding me how easy these are to make at home!!! It's been awhile so I'm inspired to make my next batch...(with Carne Asado) Plus, I'm anxious to use my new French rolling pin...HaHa

    Fun to watch the Chinese ladies whip these together. A bun every 6-8 seconds or faster. Years of doing I guess. In Hawaii they are called Manapua, and as a teen we would take the bus to the beach for 10 cents, then after surfing got two buns for 25 cents each and a snow cone for the other 50 cents of our dollar. Best value on the island!

    Hey, I used to make these all the time in the past. Even I never used self-raising flour they always turned up pretty good. For the filling I used to put some thin beef strips in soya sauce for an hour or so in the fridge then finely chop some white onions, carrots and green onions put them on a skillet and then deglaze it with some fresh orange juice. It's pretty good with chicken too pretty sweet (if the oranges are not as sweet as you need them to be may use
    1-2 tablespoons of honey). Then you cook some of them the way you show here and put the rest in the freezer. Then you can instantly use them whenever you want, you just add 5-10 minutes on cooking time on top of the initial one and you are golden. Cheers!
