The ever popular Char Siu Bao! This Dim Sum classic's definitely a bit involved - in order to get it's characteristic fluffy texture, a sourdough starter's made and mixed with various leavening agents.

The barbecue pork filling, meanwhile, is mixed with a sauce called "Char Siu Bao sauce", which is a mother dough of sorts in a lot of Cantonese Dim Sum.

Baker's schedule for the starter and mother dough is here, plus some instructions on how to reactivate it:

We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
