Cha siu baau

Cha siu baau

"Cha siu baau" are Cantonese barbecue pork buns ("baozi"). The buns are filled with barbecue-flavoured char siu pork. They are served as a type of dim sum during "yum cha" and are sometimes sold in Chinese bakeries.

Variety

There are two major kinds of cha siu baau: steamed (蒸 zing1) and baked (焗 guk6). Steamed cha siu baau has a white exterior, while its baked counterpart is browned and glazed. Another variety of these buns, made with puff pastry, are called "cha siu sou".

Ingredient

Although visually similar to other types of steamed "baozi", the dough of steamed "cha siu baau" is unique since it makes use of both yeast and baking powder as leavening [rec.food.recipes Luckytrim, [http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/45/Chinese_Pork_Buns_Cha_Siu_Bao49024.shtml "Chinese Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bao) Recipe"] ] [Michelle Che, [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chinese-Pork-Buns-Cha-Siu-Bao/Detail.aspx Chinese Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bao)] ] . This unique mix of leavening gives the dough of "cha siu baau" a soft, fluffy, and almost cake-like texture. Indeed the texture of the dough is so appealing that many other types of steamed baozi are made using "cha siu baau" dough.
