Char Siu Bao (BBQ Pork Bun)

Char siu bao is a Cantonese steamed bun filled with sweet-savory barbecued pork.

A teahouse classic, it folds Cantonese barbecued pork into a soft, fluffy bun.

Steamed and eaten warm, its top often splits open naturally; it is one of the heartier dim sum items at yum cha.

Soft, pillowy bun and a glossy sweet-savory filling make it a crowd-pleasing Cantonese classic.
