About Charsiew shu
Charsiew Shu, also known as Char Siu Bao, is a popular Cantonese dim sum dish featuring a soft, fluffy steamed bun filled with sweet and savory barbecue pork. The filling is made with "char siu" pork, marinated and roasted in a mixture of ingredients like hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder. These buns can either be steamed for a tender texture or baked for a golden, slightly crisp glaze. While Charsiew Shu is a flavorful and satisfying treat, it's worth noting its nutritional aspects. The barbecue pork filling provides a good source of protein, but it is also often high in sugar and sodium due to the marinade. The bun, made from refined flour, adds carbohydrates with little fiber content. Best enjoyed in moderation, this dim sum favorite is a delicious example of Cantonese cuisine's balance of sweet and savory flavors.
