Whats the best and simpliest siopao/chinese pork bun recipe you can make?
If you live in a town where there are chinese barbecue places and can buy the Char Su, the best way is quite easy, most chinese or vietnamese grocers have a package steamed bun mix, it is very simple to make, then after acquiring that and the BBQ pork, in the same chinese or vietnamese stores look for a sauce from Lee Kum Kee, it would be called Char Su sauce, it is in a small jar. All you do is follow the directions on the steamed bun package, chopped the pork into a medium fine dice, add some of the sauce, then make the buns, you portion out the dough, flatten them with a rolling pin add a tablespoon of filling, bring them together, and put the seam side down on a piece of waxed paper or parchment, steam them for 20 -30 minutes depending on how big you make them, one packeage of dough will make 8 large or 12 small buns.
