What are those soft, semi sweet steamed rolls made in chnatown?!
once when i was a kid we went to chinatown, san fransisco, and had these rolls in a shop!. they had soft, semi sweet dough with a meat "paste" that was red or grey depending on what meat!. they were steamed so they werent crunchy and they didnt have any crust!. just soft, sweet and round!. can anybody tell me what they are called!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
those are called "char sui bao"
char sui = Chinese Style bbq pork (reddish)
bao = bun
The grayish ones are probably Chicken buns
Gai Bao
Gai = Chicken
Bao = Bun
I personally like the baked ones!.
