I used The Woks Of Life! They have a steamed version too but I prefer baked texture.

A man who never eat pork bun is never a whole man! Why don't you have pork bun in your hand?

Nobody's ever asked me that before. I don't have an answer for that.

Is this the “donut” that Sailor Moon was eating in the 1990s english dubs?

Not OP, but here's a recipe that I follow whenever I wanted to make these at home: https://thewoksoflife.com/chinese-bbq-pork-buns-cha-siu-bao/

That's the exact recipe I used :) except I forgot to turn the oven down in the last step lol.

I think it still worked out well in the end! They have a nice brown color have a crumbling flakiness. Each time I followed the recipe, my buns turned out paler than I wanted. Then again, I also had to substitute the different flour types with only all-purpose flour since I didn't want to buy different flour types.

These a must-order item when I go to a dim sum restaurant! They're an excellent balance of sweet and savory.

I think these are buns, as per the title, just baked. Do dim sum restaurants do baked buns? I thought it's either steamed buns or pastry puffs, which are "sou", vs buns ("bao").

Every dim sum restaurant I have been to also serves baked items. The ones that do cart service have a dedicated baked goods cart with other items like egg custard tarts and sesame balls.

Those look amazingly delicious! I can't wait for mobile phones to get a Nom Nom Nom feature!
