Making Baked Char Siu Bao

[yogibear1023]

Thanks so much for posting this! I had pork buns for the first time last month while visiting Oakland California. We had dim sum and this was one of my favorites!! I can't wait to try and make them at home. I searched everywhere for a video of the baked ones and no steamed so double thanks!!!

Ahaha I'm so glad you guys ate it in front of the camera. I get so sad when people only show the finished product and don't bother eating it right then and there. It looks delicious! I will make these tomorrow!

[murky2]

@yummykabocha - so, were they delicous?

[eujeeves]

I always make the mistake of adding too much flour, because I think that dough is not supposed to be sticky when it's supposed to. This just means it'll come out fluffier and soft.

Is this a chick with a masculine voice or a geezer with nail polish?? Anyway, video would be better if the ingredients had quantities! How much flour, how many eggs etc do we use???

[murky2]

@candyfox73 - ha ha you're funny. This is me (Nate) narrating while my wife (Annie) is doing the work. Search our blog site "House of Annie" for "Red Bean Buns" which will give you the dough recipe and "Homemade Baked Char Siew Bao" for the filling recipe.

In mandarin, it's phonetically pronounced "chah sho"

I wonder if this bread can be use to make those Hotdog buns (The ones that are sold at a lot of Asian stores. I don't know what they are call, but they're super good)

[chezz1a]

Mouth watering.....drool.

[aquilarealm]

awesome. how do you make the filling so juicy looking? also, can you use vegetables if you don't want meat?

[murky2]

@aquilarealm - the char siu bao filling has different sauces as ingredients, including sesame oil. If you don't want meat, I suppose you could use different kinds of veggies...but then it wouldn't be a char siu bao any more! ;-)

[aquilarealm]

@murky2 actually i used a rice strainer as a steamer and used some ground pork and put loads of veges in it. it came out really good considering that was my second time with yeast, and i didn't have a steamer and my first time cooking ground pork. only thing is they were soooo big, like the size of a palm and a half...

[simon1tan]

you have a monopoly on BAKED cha siu bao. THANKS.

[seonidh]

This recipe is not the chinese version. The Chinese char sui bao is white and steamed. This style of baked bun is influenced by the Japanese curry bun. A chinese baker told me that.

[GuyJon57]

good video! Thank you :-)

[eujeeves]

How come the char siu baos at House of Annie website look dry and not as saucy as this one?

[HanTheRemix]

i thought it was supposed to be steamed???

[murky2]

char siu is gross ... you should see how the chinese slaughter their pigs

but you rolled the dough well

[ben2938]

Thanks a million for the show. It's much easier to learn than reading the instruction. Any other chinese recipes?
