Steamed Roast Pork Buns


This is my first attempt to make Steamed Roast Pork Buns. (Char Siu Bao). I had some left over roast pork (char siu) and thought why not give it a go. The result was good; but, not fantastic. The filling was superb; but, the dough needs further improvement. That shall be my next objective. Try to perfect the dough! So, I will just post the recipe for the filling.

They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest.
