Barbecued pork buns (char siu bao) are among the most popular dim sum, and no wonder: the combination of savory barbecued pork and sweet pillowy dough gives this snack an addictive flavor like no other. It's worth learning how to make these buns at home, so you’re ready whenever a craving hits.

FROM THE
RECIPE:
In Malaysia, char siew bao/char siu bao is also available in Kopitiam (literally means coffee shop in Chinese dialect) together with other savoury and sweet steamed buns. Compared to char siew bao served in restaurants, the Kopitiam version is bigger in size and has no opening on the top. Taste wise, they are similar.
Steamed buns made with the mixture low-protein flour and wheat starch are fluffier and softer than those using only low-protein or all purpose flour. For the filling, I used ready-cooked char siew since I am living in Malaysia now and it is readily available.
