Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a dough mixer, combine cake flour, warm water, instant yeast, baking powder, castor sugar, salt, and olive oil.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then cover and let it rest for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Make the Char Siu Filling:
Marinate the diced pork belly with salt, crushed garlic, sugar, white and black pepper, Char Siu sauce, Chinese rice wine, soy sauce, mushroom dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Add cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
Stir in diced onions and chopped spring onion.
Separate and Wrap the Bao:
Divide the dough into equal portions and flatten each into a circle.
Spoon the Char Siu filling into the center of each dough circle.
Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal, forming a bun shape.
Steam the Char Siu Bao:
Place the prepared buns on small squares of cut A4 paper to prevent sticking.
Steam the buns over boiling water with 1 tbsp of white vinegar added to keep them white, for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve:
Remove the Char Siu Bao from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.
