So…. Are we getting the recipe?

Looks amazing!

[–] Milx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used The Woks Of Life! They have a steamed version too but I prefer baked texture.

[–] Kirill@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Great thank you!

A man who never eat pork bun is never a whole man! Why don't you have pork bun in your hand?

[–] tox_solid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nobody's ever asked me that before. I don't have an answer for that.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My thought as well hahaha

What I wouldn’t give for a sequel to Sleeping Dogs!

And also one of those pork buns

Is this the “donut” that Sailor Moon was eating in the 1990s english dubs?

[–] jaybirrd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I echo this! Would love to know more details about the process. They look great.

Not OP, but here's a recipe that I follow whenever I wanted to make these at home: https://thewoksoflife.com/chinese-bbq-pork-buns-cha-siu-bao/

[–] Milx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's the exact recipe I used :) except I forgot to turn the oven down in the last step lol.

[–] khelmr@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I think it still worked out well in the end! They have a nice brown color have a crumbling flakiness. Each time I followed the recipe, my buns turned out paler than I wanted. Then again, I also had to substitute the different flour types with only all-purpose flour since I didn't want to buy different flour types.

Those look amazingly delicious! I can't wait for mobile phones to get a Nom Nom Nom feature!

[–] khelmr@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These a must-order item when I go to a dim sum restaurant! They're an excellent balance of sweet and savory.

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think these are buns, as per the title, just baked. Do dim sum restaurants do baked buns? I thought it's either steamed buns or pastry puffs, which are "sou", vs buns ("bao").

[–] khelmr@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Every dim sum restaurant I have been to also serves baked items. The ones that do cart service have a dedicated baked goods cart with other items like egg custard tarts and sesame balls.

[–] czech@no.faux.moe 2 points 2 years ago

These look amazing. Can you share the recipe?

[–] Nutterthebutter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

One of the best dishes. I love these! Good job.
