Royal Gourmet Char Siu Bao (BBQ Pork Buns)
)
Cha Siu Bao (叉燒包) is a Cantonese barbecue pork filled bun (Baozi) The buns are filled with barbecue flavored Cha Siu Pork They are served as a type of Dim Sum during yum cha and are sometimes sold in Chinese bakeries. Cha Siu refers to the pork filling; the word Bao means "bun".
The dough of steamed Cha Siu Bao is unique since it makes use of both yeast and baking
powder as leavening. This unique mix of leavening gives the dough the texture of a
slightly dense, but fine soft bread Together with the encased tender, sweet, slow roasted pork tenderloin, creates a perfect combination of sweet and savoury taste
