Steamed Bbq Pork Buns (CHAR SIU BAO)

Image 1. Click to open in original size.

I recently made a dish called Char Siu Bao, which is essentially  Asian steamed bbq pork buns.  I have been craving this dish years. I used to love to get Dim Sum with my mom on our trips to San Francisco, where we would go to Chinatown. 

This recipe is really good, but I still felt something wasn't authentic. But, honestly, it has been so long since I tasted the real thing I am unsure of what could be missing. 

Here is the recipe for the buns: https://thewoksoflife.com/steamed-bbq-pork-buns-char-siu-bao/

And the recipe for the roasted pork: https://thewoksoflife.com/chinese-bbq-pork-cha-siu/

When I saw them, my mind went to a typically Swedish dish called ”palt”. They are made from potatoes and have pork in them, but look a little similar on the outside. Then I saw the photo of an open char siu bao in your link and was surprised by the vivid colors. It's like a fire inside them. πŸ™‚ The pork in palt usually has a grayish nuance.

Ok my grandma used to make kroppkakor and it reminds me of them. Not the flavor but the look. Now that I looked up palt it looks the same as kroppkakor.

Kroppkakor traditionally were made in the south-east parts of Sweden, while palt was eaten in the north.

Thanks! I didn’t use the red dye as the recipe stated and I remember them being for sweet but they were very tasty πŸ˜‹

#6. Ha, I think you may just have translated from Swedish to English (we call it Swenglish). ”…I remember them being for sweet…” The Swedish word ”fΓΆr” can mean both ”too” and ”for.” My guess is that you meant ”too” here. Or maybe it's a bit of English that I have missed. πŸ˜€

It was easy because it is a common mistake Swedes make. πŸ˜€

That's probably what decides it. πŸ™‚ Your family in the US will soon think you have a strange English accent.
