    Could these be frozen before steaming? Thanks :)

    Try boiling water when you make the dough (either for buns or dumplings
    wrappings ) it’s very traditional and gives you awesome texture ! By the
    way, the perfect number of folds on dim sum is 18-22!

    Ben and Barry get their buns out!

    Pork: the meat that tastes closest to what eating human flesh would be
    like. Enjoy!

    You should do a bavarian pork belly roast with crispy skin that blistered!!

    These were my mums favourite food in the world, and as I was watching this
    I couldn’t help but think how much happiness having a recipe for these
    would make her! Even though she isn’t here anymore, her birthday is coming
    up soon, so I think a pork bun party is in order.

    i know the pork is the central component really but can i change it to
    chicken? would i need to change the steaming time?

    These are surprisingly the PERFECT breakfast food if you’re rushing to
    class. You can make them beforehand, pop them in the microwave for 10
    seconds, and you’re on your way!

    I just realized that you guys should try making a Beef Wellington… BURGER!
    Puff pastry as the “buns”, a mushroom duxelle as the “sauce”, it would be
    AMAZING!

    I loooove those buns! I usually put coconut milk instead of regular milk;
    gonna try with the pork!

    You’ve got buns hun! Looks like a lovely recipe, are there any vegetarian
    options for this dish?

    I am a Hongkongnese.

    Is there an acceptable substitute for coriander? I’m one of those people
    that,for me, coriander tastes like dish soap.

    A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man!

    Hey Sorted, it’s actually pronounced “Char Siew Bao”, as in like “see-you”
    being read quickly. A great video nonetheless!
