Barbecue pork buns

Overview

A classic Hong Kong-style tea snack, barbecued pork buns are made with barbecued pork cut into small pieces and added with oyster sauce and other seasonings as fillings; the outside is made of improved fermented dough commonly used in the north, which is kneaded into a cage shape when wrapped, and finally steamed in a steamer. If fermented properly, the top of the bun will naturally crack after steaming, and it can actually be said to be a blossoming steamed bun with barbecued pork filling. The general size of barbecued pork buns is about five centimeters in diameter, and one basket usually contains three or four. Good barbecued pork buns are stuffed with moderately fat and lean barbecued pork. After the steamed buns are cooked, they are soft and smooth. They crack slightly to reveal the barbecued pork filling, exuding bursts of barbecued pork aroma.
