I'm making this for my boyfriend (it's his birthday) and this is one of the most labor intensive things I've cooked in a very long time. My bbq pork is done, I'm waiting for that dummy thicc dough to get done rising, and I am so excited. Update: these are awesome!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
well, thank you for trying it and leaving a reply for other people like me. btw, how did you get your pork, did you make it? do you think beef would taste the same? i dont really eat pork and was wondering.
You deserve best cooking show award or whatever it is. you're probably the only American food RUclipsr who uses the metric system as well as anything else. Edit: binging with babish is also cool and he doesn't throw it back every video nowadays
Its so annoying when you find a good recipe that you want to try... and its measured in cups. I mean at least use oz/lbs if you dont want to use metric!

You can fold them into semi-circles and steam them without any fillings and use them like slider buns. I like to fill them with pieces of fried chicken, Asian sauce (ketchup, mayo, hot sauce, light soy sauce, minced garlic, honey and a bit of sesame oil) and pickled onions. The combo of the heavenly soft and succulent bao and crispy Korean fried chicken with the sauce and pickled veggies is just surreal.
I did both styles this weekend and used the same pork marinade on some pork belly for the Gua Bao and it was incredible! Thanks for the perfect recipe once again!
@Moebym I will definitely get experimental with this . I used to go to this place in Orlando Florida called Ming Court. The food just can't be described it had to be experienced. Such wonderful flavors ,you could stay there all day and never have the same dish. Just incredible. The BBQ pork steamed buns were the best. We pretty much ordered them every 10 minutes. So good. Thank you for bringing that memory.
This video cost me about $600, after buying dough mixer, accessories and ingredients. Needless to say, I was super excited to try this at home. End result was 🔥!
Cost me 100, though I didn't buy a mixer & already own a rolling pin. I'm gonna knead by hand bc kitchen aid are the best Mixers, the only I'll use. And I can't afford it rn
I can't thank ya enough, mate. Been using the dough recipe, step by step, and following along with the pleating, for all the steamed buns I've made. Mostly been doing sweet/dessert types: apple cinnamon, lemon, blackberry, and chocolate. Finally tried my hand af savory, made pizza ones. Family and coworkers have absolutely loved them. Thank you for the awesome and very descriptive video.

Also did a BBQ spicy pulled beef batch recently. A few pork allergies so went with beef.

Then shred the beef, let it cool, mix into a homemade BBQ sauce and let it marinate in fridge over night. Dice up some green onions and mix into the beef before putting into the dough.

I’ve made these a number of times, but once I made them at the end of a 7 day backpacking trip on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon! Never tasted better. So fun to make them and guests are always amazed!! I often bake bread, pizzas and cakes on these trips. Thank you so much for the great video!
I wish I could afford a bamboo steamer basket. It would make my life so much easier. But alas, I cannot. So I must continue precariously balancing my metal collander upside-down, inside my wok, with a precariously placed plate on top of that, and a towel precariously placed between the wok and the lid so the steam doesn't escape too much, but also so the lid doesn't touch the top of the bao. Total fire hazard, but tastes so good!!
Pretty sure u could get one for cheap or youre just not looking properly. They cost 5-11 bucks depending on size. And a normal electric steamer is also just 20 bucks for 3 stacks

I will share with you my favorite slowcooker filling for bao. It's non-traditional, but sooooo tasty. 4 chicken breasts, fresh or frozen 1 cup of soy sauce 2 cups water 3 tbsp brown sugar (I like light brown, but dark brown makes the sauce gooey and sticky) 1/4 cup mirin 2 tsp chinese five spice powder 1/3 cup cornstarch 1 bunch of green onions, white part, minced (set aside the long green part for later) Add the chicken and white onion part of the green onions to your slow cooker, sprinkle in the sugar and spice, pour in the liquids. Cook on high or low, whichever you prefer, until the chicken is pull-apart tender. Remove and shred the chicken, chop lightly to ensure small pieces. Transfer liquids to a saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch. Turn heat on to medium-low and cook until thick and glossy. Add more sugar to taste (I doubt you'll need any). Add shredded chicken and allow to cool. Mince green part of green onions and stir into cooled chicken mixture. Make bao! Any leftover filling is amazing over rice or as filling for Japanese style onigiri :)
@Emily Pham He's got the idea and notion right but he just needs a bit more practice. The folds were a bit too big which could actually cause the bun to rip open and end up having less filling and more bun or potentially have some filling spill out. I don't want to be too nit picky but it just irks me.
I had dim sum today and it made me want to come back to watch this. Kinda crazy seeing how much the channel has changed but also all the joshisms that are the same years later
THIS, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. I went to Taiwan on vacation and I had the best baos ever, Azuki, pork, chicken, curry, vegetable, everything you can imagine.
Been around since the cabinet days when I started sourdough stuff and honestly, you're one of my favorite go-to chefs for learning how to cook ANYTHING. I always feel like I get the "true" info on a recipe or technique with some great shortcuts for real life. I see what Gordon says, and I see what Joshua says, then I cook lol. Thanks for all the great work!
Can you please do a salted caramel sauce video?..... "the proper way." Your recipes seem really awesome And as soon as I get an oven I will definitely be trying to make them!
These look so good! I used to love Char Siu Bao before I stopped eating meat, and its the only thing I still crave after all these years. It made me feel like wherever I was was home... I hope to find a vegetarian recipe that does it justice :)
It is amazing how different countries make similar dishes because I'm from Guam and we have something similar and its called asado siopao. It has very similar ingredients, but its basically the same thing.
For anyone interested I made this for dinner tonight and followed all his directions with no ingredient substitutions. I personally liked it a lot however you may want to not crisp up the pork before making the filling if you want a softer sweeter filling. Crisping it makes it smokier and it has more texture. Buns came out great even tho my folding skill is awful. Great recipe thank you papa love you
Work-friend invited the crew out, they actually got mad at me for ordering Bao; I thought it was because they wanted some, but they complained later that it was because they felt the beautiful, steamed container presentation "outshined their moment." I offered some untouched buns but they just got more mad. People are wierd.
I made a sourdough version of this and it was great. Basically just replace the yeast with sourdough starter and let it rise for 6-8 hours. It had all the same texture and everything, but had just the slightest hint of sourdough sourness.
Joshua: *put the camera to the cabinet* Joshua: *Close the cabinet* Also Joshua: *OPEN THE CABINET* Also also Joshua: *INTRO* Now that's how you make your intro, thank me later
I love making bao! learnt to make them in Beijing when i was living there, and my husband is truly thankful for the bbq pork video lol! Its def a go to comfort food - both the making and eating parts ;)
I think it's because in british english (remember that HK was a british colony) would hear "cha" and put an r at the end of it, much like "car". Fast forward to now, and America has Britain's shitty romanization spelling and doesn't know any better.

@@charlottec546 In International Phonetic Alphabet, 叉 is _tsʰá_ . It's an aspirated dentalized laminal alveolar which means it is articulated with a strong burst of breath and with the tongue blade very close to the upper front teeth, with the tongue tip resting behind lower front teeth. The hissing effect in this variety of [s] is very strong. The English _ch_ , on the other hand, is a voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant affricate or voiceless domed postalveolar sibilant affricate. Its place of articulation is palato-alveolar, that is, domed (partially palatalized) postalveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the front of the tongue bunched up ("domed") at the palate. A native Cantonese speaker will not misunderstand the word if it were spoken.
I went to China a few years ago and had some of these and I literally couldn't get enough of them. They r so good everywhere we went I had to always know if there were pork buns around
JOSH I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO MAKE THESE SOMETIME SOON BUT MY DOCTOR SAYS I SHOULD CUT BACK ON MY MEAT INTAKE CONSIDERABLY. DO YOU RECOMMEND ANY VEGETARIAN FILLING AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PORK? I STILL MIGHT MAKE A FEW PORK ONES ANYWAY SO LONG AS YOU WONT TELL MY DOCTOR. LOL!!! THANKS TOM
Your doctor wants you to cut back on fat. Lean protein is very healthy and satiating. Doctors say meat because if doctors said eat more lean meat people would still eat chicken breast drowned in butter sauces and not realize it.
frodo the hobo I’m sorry but there is a limit to eating too much meat. Doctors like to over complicate stuff, but always talk directly. If they say no meat it means no meat. If they say no fat it means no fat
@@hallobre no their isn't. Not unless you are literally only eating boiled chicken breast. And doctors talk to get results and understand that the general population is stupid lazy and non compliant and they have to give advice that people will actually follow. For instance it is now common knowledge in the medical proffession that brisk walking is 3x better than statins for blood pressure. Most people will not brisk walk or they need more convincing than the doctor wants to do, so they get statins, since they are better than nothing.
Mushrooms are a good substitute. Other than that, the bao recipe can be used for any bun filling, you can find veggie fillings on RUclips quite easily.
kneading in a calm way with warm hands takes maximum 10min. enjoy it , you dont need to kill it just combine it till no crumbs left. greetings from e.u
I did some research and it seems that bao is a synonym to baozi in English. However, I've only heard baozi and never plainly bao in mandarin* Chinese...
Actually, Joshua is right since "char siu" and "bao" is also the Cantonese pronunciation of "BBQ pork" and "bun" where char siu and dim sum such as char siu bao are originated.
I have never bitten into a cloud filled with tender succulent meat
Well LETS CHANGE THAT

I’ve made these a number of times, but once I made them at the end of a 7 day backpacking trip on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon! Never tasted better. So fun to make them and guests are always amazed!! I often bake bread, pizzas and cakes on these trips. Thank you so much for the great video!
I just made these. They're awesome! It was like biting into a cloud, but inside that cloud was tender, succulent meat.
I wish I could afford a bamboo steamer basket. It would make my life so much easier. But alas, I cannot. So I must continue precariously balancing my metal collander upside-down, inside my wok, with a precariously placed plate on top of that, and a towel precariously placed between the wok and the lid so the steam doesn't escape too much, but also so the lid doesn't touch the top of the bao. Total fire hazard, but tastes so good!!
Buy one of those metal screens for cooking and use a tall-ish metal bowl as a lid. (:
Weird. A bao steamer for me was pretty cheap.
Like R180. Which is give or take 9 or 10 dollars.
Pretty sure u could get one for cheap or youre just not looking properly. They cost 5-11 bucks depending on size. And a normal electric steamer is also just 20 bucks for 3 stacks
@@keikeine9398 you're making an assumption your supply in your area is the same as theirs.
I can get for under 10 dollars where I am.
But if you check amazon is over 3 times that for the same on I have
@@alextrollip7707 this is true. I can't find one where I am for less than $25. That is just not in my budget right now. But I think if I hint hard enough my mom and sister can pitch in for one for Christmas or something. Untill then, I will make do with what I can. 👍😁
I will share with you my favorite slowcooker filling for bao. It's non-traditional, but sooooo tasty.
4 chicken breasts, fresh or frozen
1 cup of soy sauce
2 cups water
3 tbsp brown sugar (I like light brown, but dark brown makes the sauce gooey and sticky)
1/4 cup mirin
2 tsp chinese five spice powder
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 bunch of green onions, white part, minced (set aside the long green part for later)
Add the chicken and white onion part of the green onions to your slow cooker, sprinkle in the sugar and spice, pour in the liquids. Cook on high or low, whichever you prefer, until the chicken is pull-apart tender. Remove and shred the chicken, chop lightly to ensure small pieces.
Transfer liquids to a saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch. Turn heat on to medium-low and cook until thick and glossy. Add more sugar to taste (I doubt you'll need any). Add shredded chicken and allow to cool. Mince green part of green onions and stir into cooled chicken mixture.
Make bao!
Any leftover filling is amazing over rice or as filling for Japanese style onigiri :)
When you're asian and you get so annoyed at how he wrapped the buns but you still love him enough to try and cheer him on.
@Emily Pham He's got the idea and notion right but he just needs a bit more practice. The folds were a bit too big which could actually cause the bun to rip open and end up having less filling and more bun or potentially have some filling spill out. I don't want to be too nit picky but it just irks me.
@Emily Pham 😂
So the intro and it was just.. AAAAAAAAHHHHH
A for effort though.
Every Souteast asian ever: I give a 9.5/10 for that small puffy kawaii boi, you just made me hungryyyy
Ummmmm lol he did AMAZING for someone who isnt Asian making baozi all the time
I had dim sum today and it made me want to come back to watch this. Kinda crazy seeing how much the channel has changed but also all the joshisms that are the same years later
bao is so gosh dang good like i can eat it everyday fr. i remember my childhood when eating some
Cracked up so hard when he gave that dough a slap
0:00 you can see him close the door slightly then open it
151Bryce it’s a continuation of the last episode so it was never fully closed
THIS, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.
I went to Taiwan on vacation and I had the best baos ever, Azuki, pork, chicken, curry, vegetable, everything you can imagine.
Yesssss! Finally Chinese food yum.

I want someone to look at me the way Joshua looks at literally any food he makes
I actually did this with chicken char siu and it turned out pretty great! :)
This is the far best food channel I’ve ever watched!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Bless the KING🙏🏻🙏🏻
Been around since the cabinet days when I started sourdough stuff and honestly, you're one of my favorite go-to chefs for learning how to cook ANYTHING. I always feel like I get the "true" info on a recipe or technique with some great shortcuts for real life. I see what Gordon says, and I see what Joshua says, then I cook lol. Thanks for all the great work!
Can you please do a salted caramel sauce video?..... "the proper way."
Your recipes seem really awesome
And as soon as I get an oven I will definitely be trying to make them!
These look so good! I used to love Char Siu Bao before I stopped eating meat, and its the only thing I still crave after all these years. It made me feel like wherever I was was home... I hope to find a vegetarian recipe that does it justice :)
Joshua: "Merch is coming"
Me: "So Josh, about those hand towels..."
It is amazing how different countries make similar dishes because I'm from Guam and we have something similar and its called asado siopao. It has very similar ingredients, but its basically the same thing.
I lived in Hong Kong for 8 years and I can tell you now, they are the best food ever. Thanks Josh for another great vid

Holy shit nostalgia
I knew I would find this somewhere in the comments! First thing I thought of😂
joshua at the intro: closes the cabinet but reopens it
This is going to be way better than any store bought version.
Lemme go grab a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich
For anyone interested I made this for dinner tonight and followed all his directions with no ingredient substitutions. I personally liked it a lot however you may want to not crisp up the pork before making the filling if you want a softer sweeter filling. Crisping it makes it smokier and it has more texture. Buns came out great even tho my folding skill is awful. Great recipe thank you papa love you
Bao reminds me of the stew dumplings we have in New England. ❤
1:59
I thought he drank that damned yeast mixture
Work-friend invited the crew out, they actually got mad at me for ordering Bao; I thought it was because they wanted some, but they complained later that it was because they felt the beautiful, steamed container presentation "outshined their moment."
I offered some untouched buns but they just got more mad. People are wierd.
Weird*
more for you
" and there she is, dummy thick and all..." felt that
We got buns from the Monapua truck growing up in Hawaii. Their noodles were delicious too.. yum
I've had many a bao in my life & these, especially the filling look like some of the best!
also i love the HEB representation, it is after all the only store that exists
Only thing we have left since Whataburger sucks now and buc-ees is no longer special.
You know you made it when people are dying to get first comment the first 30 seconds you upload a new video, congrats Josh!
I made a sourdough version of this and it was great. Basically just replace the yeast with sourdough starter and let it rise for 6-8 hours. It had all the same texture and everything, but had just the slightest hint of sourdough sourness.
Can you please tell me how much sourdough starter you used for this recipe?
@@annchong9701 About 1/2 cup
My family lives off of your recipes
My day just started and you already made it
That’s the only way I know how to make buns, soft and THICCC
4:54 i hope that is peoples reaction to me on my wedding day
Best explanation of how to make boas on the net! Fabulous job!! I hope I can make it!!
thank you for making this and appreciating the awesomeness of the bao. It is awesome. It is beautiful. It is delicious.
Joshua: *put the camera to the cabinet*
Joshua: *Close the cabinet*
Also Joshua: *OPEN THE CABINET*
Also also Joshua: *INTRO*
Now that's how you make your intro, thank me later
I thought all this time that I was trapped in his cabinet... OMG IM FREE 🕊🕊✌ thank you so much 🙂
Vender: A man whos never eaten a pork bun is never a whole man
I've started saying B-ROLL at the same time as Joshua.
Local of his channel?
What a lovely person. This is our generation's bob ross. Someone give this gent a tv show!
I love making bao! learnt to make them in Beijing when i was living there, and my husband is truly thankful for the bbq pork video lol! Its def a go to comfort food - both the making and eating parts ;)
There is no "R" sound in Yue Cantonese. Just pronounce 叉 as _cha_ . That's close enough.
I think it's because in british english (remember that HK was a british colony) would hear "cha" and put an r at the end of it, much like "car". Fast forward to now, and America has Britain's shitty romanization spelling and doesn't know any better.
@@its_ya_guy_the_big_bak_guai There are over ten different romanization systems for Yue Cantonese:
Jyutping
Yale romanization
Guangdong Romanization
Hong Kong Government
Macau Government
Meyer-Wempe
Sidney Lau
S. L. Wong (phonetic symbols)
S. L. Wong (romanization)
Cantonese Pinyin
Standard Romanization
Barnett-Chao
I think "tsa" would be the closest actually
@@charlottec546 In International Phonetic Alphabet, 叉 is _tsʰá_ . It's an aspirated dentalized laminal alveolar which means it is articulated with a strong burst of breath and with the tongue blade very close to the upper front teeth, with the tongue tip resting behind lower front teeth. The hissing effect in this variety of [s] is very strong. The English _ch_ , on the other hand, is a voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant affricate or voiceless domed postalveolar sibilant affricate. Its place of articulation is palato-alveolar, that is, domed (partially palatalized) postalveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the front of the tongue bunched up ("domed") at the palate. A native Cantonese speaker will not misunderstand the word if it were spoken.
Tbh I was confused as to wth charshu was the entire vid until I realized it was chashu he was talking abt lol
"ah, yes there was meat in the cloud,so ... um, when can i go home Josh?" *sits cramped in cabinet*
Roses are red
I can’t make Puns
*BBQ Pork steamed buns*
Omg all in ten minutes this guy is a god!
I went to China a few years ago and had some of these and I literally couldn't get enough of them. They r so good everywhere we went I had to always know if there were pork buns around

This is what it is guys

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO MAKE THESE SOMETIME SOON BUT MY DOCTOR SAYS I SHOULD CUT BACK ON MY MEAT INTAKE CONSIDERABLY. DO YOU RECOMMEND ANY VEGETARIAN FILLING AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PORK? I STILL MIGHT MAKE A FEW PORK ONES ANYWAY SO LONG AS YOU WONT TELL MY DOCTOR. LOL!!!
THANKS
TOM
Your doctor wants you to cut back on fat. Lean protein is very healthy and satiating. Doctors say meat because if doctors said eat more lean meat people would still eat chicken breast drowned in butter sauces and not realize it.
frodo the hobo I’m sorry but there is a limit to eating too much meat. Doctors like to over complicate stuff, but always talk directly. If they say no meat it means no meat. If they say no fat it means no fat
@@hallobre no their isn't. Not unless you are literally only eating boiled chicken breast. And doctors talk to get results and understand that the general population is stupid lazy and non compliant and they have to give advice that people will actually follow. For instance it is now common knowledge in the medical proffession that brisk walking is 3x better than statins for blood pressure. Most people will not brisk walk or they need more convincing than the doctor wants to do, so they get statins, since they are better than nothing.
Mushrooms are a good substitute. Other than that, the bao recipe can be used for any bun filling, you can find veggie fillings on RUclips quite easily.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. GUESS I’LL BE DOING A BIT OF RESEARCH ON RUclips TODAY!
TOM
kneading in a calm way with warm hands takes maximum 10min. enjoy it , you dont need to kill it just combine it till no crumbs left. greetings from e.u
usually i dont like cooking videos with voice overs but this guy is just so fucking cool and funny. instant subscribe
"Do you know what else is unbelievably soft?"
Surely not me lmao.
I think it’s called “包子” type as “ bao zi”
I did some research and it seems that bao is a synonym to baozi in English. However, I've only heard baozi and never plainly bao in mandarin* Chinese...
Actually, Joshua is right since "char siu" and "bao" is also the Cantonese pronunciation of "BBQ pork" and "bun" where char siu and dim sum such as char siu bao are originated.
@@dickwa8028 I was wondering if it was Cantonese cuz I'm like "I've never heard bbq pork be called that in Chinese" 😂
i say bao zi never just bao
Cantonese people never say baozi just bao
