hi there, i was wondering what specific ingredient or brand for the sherry. Also in the making of the basic dough - the brand of dry yeast and shortening.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@julie330 Hi - usually the brand of cooking sherry that I use is Holland house and the shortening is Crisco and the Yeast is Fleishmann's :)

I love your recipe. May I use honey, instead of sugar and hot water for the last part. Thanks.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@mdmgaga Yes you can use honey instead - Thank you so much for watching - I really appreciate it :)

if I were to go into a Chinese restaurant, what would the proper name for these be, or even better what are they called in cantonese? I tried to explain to a waited in a restaurant I was in once but I ended up with a vietnamese style bun instead lol.

Does the high heat help keep the pork moist? I am wondering if you knowt how long it would take to roast at 325F or 350F. My mom has always told me to roast at 325 to keep moist but I see a lot of recipes at 450F.
