Char siu bao are steamed buns filled with a sweet and savory mixture of char siu, which is Cantonese-style barbecued pork. The buns are made from a soft, fluffy dough that is typically white and slightly chewy. They are a popular dim sum dish and can be found in many Chinese restaurants. These buns are often enjoyed as a snack or a light meal. The filling is usually marinated in a blend of soy sauce, honey, and five-spice powder, giving it a distinctive flavor. Char siu bao can be served warm and are often accompanied by tea.
