Directions
Char Siu Bao (Pork Buns), I adapted the char siu recipe from my friend Mitch’s late Great Uncle Kennie’s recipe. Making these dim sum buns does take a bit of time, especially if you make the meat yourself, but the results are wonderful! If you have an Asian deli that sells char siu (Chinese BBQ pork), that will save you time. Times assume meat is pre-bought or made ahead of time. Thanks to Pneuma for putting this recipe in her best of 2008 cookbook!, Excellent flavor. Nice to be able to start from scratch for this. Mine turned out a bit dry. I think perhaps this may be related to the time I cooked the meat. The recipe didn’t specify that part so I guessed. Looks like I guessed wrong. Wonderful otherwise!, I love this recipe. Anything that makes us feel like we’re eating out with out having to spend money is always good. Got the pork from a Chinese restaurant down the street and made extra to take to work. If you buy the pork and have a standing mixer this isn’t too time consuming to make for a week night dinner. Served with Soy and Honey glazed chicken wings and fried rice with Chinese sausage. Yummy!
