Those look great and like the buns I would get in Vancouver.
Thanks for the recipe.
I love your recipes and your narration, I try most of your recipies. Love from India ❤
instablaster.
I can't beleive there are people disliking Chef John's videos. He's so wholesome and corny how could you not love him
"I'm kind of off-white" - Chef John
LOL this had me in tears.

🤔🤔
Take a bao my friend on a recipe well executed!
Papa G's Low Carb Recipes too many dads in the comments
you win today
That was awesome.
The constant backtracking is adorable! It's a really encouraging thing for aspiring cooks to see that apparent failures during the process can still have fantastic results so you've got to persevere and trust your instincts sometimes.
There's no such thing as leftover ribs 🤔
I know, Right????
I was thinking the same thing!
Yeah, I thought... “who ever had left over ribs?!”.
No kidding lol hes obviously white cuz where i come from ain't none left!!!
My SIL told her dad she made ribs for her him. My brother and I had an expression: UHM, WHERE ARE OURS?1
The protip if you don't want to bother looking for that Chinese dumpling flour is to add some turmeric into your dough. Then "but why isn't it white" turns into "it's yellow because of the turmeric". Other colors work nicely too, like green for instance. This is especially useful if you're making them with different fillings, you can color code which one is which, and for none of them will it be obvious that the color isn't white because you just couldn't be bothered with that flour.
This is what I like most about you Chef John, you inspire courage when you're willing to be vulnerable in your videos in admitting you're not an expert on these but giving them a shot anyway. And they looked great so now I the layman feel empowered to give this recipe a shot.
A shaggy dough, that is like a regular dough except it hangs around with Scooby and the Gang.
2AKNOT Every time I hear him say "shaggy dough," it reminds me of an old Fred MacMurray film
I remember The Shaggy Dog. That was a great kids movie.
BAKERSMAN this comment is underrated 🤣
BAKERSMAN The buns would have been all mine if it wasn't for you meddling kids.
In that case it'd also be a perpetually scared dough.
WOW! My mom would be so impressed by your technique! I sure miss my mom's cooking wish I had paid more attention to her cooking! Oh the memories! Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to try your recipe!
Chef John, Your bao technique is just fine.
Most Asian housewives can't do as well.
Your bao look like the Vietnamese style not tall, but squat and smaller.
If you live near an Asian market you can buy the prepackaged dough flour mix in a bag for a little more than a dollar or so.
I buy it on sale for 99 cents so I stock up as they keep well.
Sometimes the instructions are in English. If you get a bag of what you want, cut the English instructions out and save it as your next bag might not have English instructions. In time you can make the dough blindfolded.
Bags of different dough flour mix for dumplings, Potstickers, Har Gow and other types of goodies are available too. I actually have found 5 different kinds of dough flour mixes in my travels. There may be even more.
One tip I got from a Taiwanese housewife was to use a combination of 1/2 water and 1/2 milk for your bao. I liked the taste and texture better than with only water.
I think that's the Asian cooking tip that is the western equivalent tip of using a little water in your cake mix for a better texture. Chef John should weigh in on that tip.
I always read as many of the comments I can. Sometimes hundreds.
The funniest ones are the "Can I substitute this for that?". Sure you can. Be daring with your ingredients. That's the fun of cooking!
Recipes like Waldorf Salad, Pears Helene, Shepards Pie and many others were invented out of not wanting to waste food in a home or a restaurant.
You should look in your refrigerator and see what main course and sides you can make out of all your leftovers. Save money and invent your signature dish.
The takeaway from Chef John for me is technique. With his Training & Experience in food preparation you might really learn something useful.
His videos on Turkish Delight and even Chinese scallion pancakes were very useful to me although I am quite proficient on those and many other recipes he has done videos on. I learn something new and polish my old techniques on every cooking recipe Chef John does. Thank you and God bless you Chef John.

You know most Asian Housewives?
@@freddie2297 what ego? He's just explaining why he liked the video and his own techniques
What’s going on?
really? (about Asian housewives). Almost all that I knew were EXCELLENT cooks - amazing - especially compared to 'most' American housewives.
Sheperds pie is "Pâté Chinois" in french canada interestingly.....Literally means chinese pie.
You can actually make these a bit whiter simply by adding a small amount of white vinegar to the steaming water. Sadly when I tried making these a few years ago I didn’t have any white vinegar so I used red wine vinegar which resulted in really ugly kind of red dumplings lol. They did still taste yum though.
How bout pink bao
Chef John, you are officially the best cooking channel on the internet. You make life seem ok. I love you.
We all love chef John from Food Wishes
For posting these vids of his dishes
On Tuesdays and Fridays
We know we will always
Get dad jokes and recipes delicious!
Wayne Gordon most underrated comment of all time
Shut up
Ever since I saw "Incredibles 2" and watched the short "Bao," I've been craving bao!!😛
Thanks for the recipe.
Also be real Chef John, that's the real reason why you made this video, huh? 😉
If you search bao Pixar recipe, you can get the recipe that they used in the short film
and now I'm crying again. Thanks.
Nope. It's cause I recommended it. Ok, so maybe not... but I DID ask for it several times, and I'm the queen of wishful thinking.
I know that's why emmymadeinjapan did her video on bao. She even made a little bao boy.
czcams.com/video/7AsNOos85cY/video.html
I'm lost, please help. Watching that short movie is exactly why I DON’T want to eat bao. It might start crying!
Every single sentence has the sharpest pitch change at the end
Mmmmmm meat pillows.😋
Nae West I always see you here!
Aaron Turner it's my favorite CZcams channel LOL
Margaret Wright stop leaving viruses in the comment section of CZcams
Nae West...
Hahaha, so annoying, right?
Nae West I feel like we could be friends.
Mmm, steamed hams..!
Are they the authentic upstate New York recipe?
Brandon Vistan no. They're steamed hams.
Aaron Turner You call them steamed hams besides the fact their obviously grilled.
Well commenters, I made it to this thread, despite your directions.
Jameson Doane Aaa, Superintendent Doane, welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!
I make these breakfast style with scrambled eggs, veggie sausage and cheddar cheese for the filling. They turn out so amazing and delicious.
This is the best food channel on CZcams PERIOD. Also the only channel where you laugh and learn about food at the same time.
Amazing ...not just the recipe but your sense of humor too. Loved it.
This is the absolute last thing I thought you would make. I'm so excited. I love these.
i gain these
The last thing I thought he would made was a Thai jungle curry made with fermented fish kidney. Or perhaps bile curry. Or perhaps filipino tree worm sashimi. Get to it, Chef John.
MBisFrenchy sorry to hear that, my friend. I hope you find them
Chris W bile curry?! That's actually a thing?
Sure, bile is not an uncommon ingredient in certain parts of southeast asia.
I actually made these! the first time i followed a youtube recipe...I never had buns before but my GOD! Alot of work, but it was all worth it! Thanks!
Oh my goodness I really want to make these... I love bbq pork buns.
Test ya skills, make soup dumplings chef!
Here here! I second the motion! 😼👏
I would also like to see you try to make soup dumplings! Or Shrimp Rice Rolls please!!
I'm very late to this, but definitely want soup dumplings!
You may be turned off on them once you see how they are made.
I've been looking for a professional syle video on these for so long.. thank you so much!!!
Please, please do a video on making the Chinese BBQ filling for these - I'd love to see your take on Char Siu.
These are SO addicting! I worked at a salon where a lady I worked with made these from scratch and they've been my favorite ever since! Lol
That’s racist
You actually add vinegar to the steaming liquid to keep it white
Regina dela cruz lmao we have the same pic and I was dumbfounded wondering “when the hell did I comment this” then I saw the name was different
Haha
“ Actually I’m kinda off white”.. that made me do a really loud obnoxious laugh. Don’t ask why
Why?
I actually made these earlier today and now Chef John makes a video....looks like the Matrix is lagging XD #NotSlick
You can steam my buns any time, Chef John.
Clorox Bleach but why
Apparently Michael Nickrent has never had his buns steamed.
Camp SomePlace Are we still talking about food
Michael Nickrent ahh, is that what you guys call it nowadays?
Michael Nickrent I mean if you dig your face into it and eat it, I guess it could be classified as food?
What is this leftover pulled pork & ribs? Never heard of it
goober pea Not leftover. Think of them as “future pork buns”.
Oh my gosh! I suggested this! Thank you SO MUCH for making these! I can't wait to try them. I may also want to bake them (after trying them steamed, of course).
For the past few months I have been trying out different recipes for bao dough. This recipe here turned out best, light, soft and fluffy...
I'll stop my search here and this will be my "go to" bao dough recipe.
i love your humor Chef John!!! you had me cracking up! and thanks for this recipe, i grew up eating char siu baos.
They look awesome! South East Asians make their baos with different fillings. My father would have approved.
I know they have sweet versions of this, like mung bean filling and chocolate filling. Sometimes jams
yourjoking Right To him his own.
Look at those buns! 😍
Delicate Dark yup nice warm buns
Chef John I just wanna say thanks for your videos.i love to Cook. And have since I was 10. Wich isn't that long im only 17....I only really cooked simple things and recipes that my family taught me. Until I found your channel. No I cook things from all over the world. Instead of American southern food. And to me that's cool. That there are different foods that are no where near the same to where im from. You've inspired me. I have cooked so many amazing things in the past year. And that's because of you. I am I high school drop out. But yove inspired me so much to the point im getting my GED and going to apply for culinary school. And im going to follow my dream and hopefully cook in every corner of the golbe. .... Thank you.
Yay, captioning! Thank you for those. I really appreciate them.
Please do Chinese soup dumplings
by "chinese soup dumpling", do you mean "xiao long bao" ?
Daehan All Purpose Flour is excellent for this. It's the Korean-brand flour with the polar bear.
I love this guy's voice and speech quality. Wish he could read me bedtime stories and cook all my meals while i listen to him talk endlessly. :-)
Thankfully when I moved back to the US from Southeast Asia, I ended up relocating to Southern CA & was easily able to find some of my favorite Asian dishes like these steamed pork buns (soft, lightly sweetened & fluffy) which I believe were referred to as "Siopao" in Hong Kong??? Thanks, Chef John for reminding me how easy these are to make at home!!! It's been awhile so I'm inspired to make my next batch...(with Carne Asado) Plus, I'm anxious to use my new French rolling pin...HaHa
Looks so good! I need to make these i have been planing for it forever! Cute buns! 😋
My, what soft buns you have Chef John. 😍
Chef John is like Bob Ross, but in the kitchen.
"There are no mistakes, only happy accidents"
Ty Chef John you are soley responsible for helping my recipes turn out. You are an amazing Chef and make the hardest things look easy. Love you lots!
Well done chef! 👍
For a second, I thought the title was “Steamed Hams”
thebahooplamaster I don’t get it? Hams is nothing like buns 😕
“Even though these are clearly broiled?”
thebahooplamaster delightfully devilish Seymour
thebahooplamaster Old family recipe
It's Aurora Borealis !
Finally something simpel I can make with ingredients I can find easily... love you uncle Jon
I don't think most people recognize the comedic genius in this guy. I crack up at every video.
Shaggy dough!!!!!!!! Oh my. This was the perfect end to my day
Awesome. We call these Pows in my country Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Lisa T&T I love that everyone has something like this.
Antonio Scarpelli I know right! Our country has so many influences and sometimes I forget how fortunate we are.
“and theoretically as you do these each one will get a little better although not for me this one looks exactly the same! but hey at least I got sauce on the dough”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 got me in tears 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love these recipes and the commentary is fantastic, so entertaining and absolutely relatable to us regular people who love to simply cook. With love from Sri Lanka❤️
Great one chef 👨🍳But how did the other piece of dough turn out next day making more dumplings? Was it better? 🤔🤔🤔
I was expecting more puns for your bbq char siu buns. 好包子啊，我喜欢猪肉包子呀，这么多啊啊啊！！！
Hint: for maximum pleasure, say this in Chef Johns voice, oh yeah. I said it.
Nice to see a Chinese fan here.
Jeanne M I’m actually American, but I’m just fluent in three languages: English, Chinese, and Chef John.
Here, you have it: a real Chinese fan -> me. :)
王欢 哈哈非常好啊
i always wanted to make these. the timing is just right. thanks chef
Chef John is just so funny...and real. Makes cooking more enjoyable :-)
Your folding technique made them into Asian Knishes.....Char Siu Baowitz
can you post a picture of your Cayenne Pepper jar? It must be huge
Nope. He has 27 jars/ jugs/shakers, what have you, of the stuff. Some are older than your Grandma's mom...
Rumor on the street is that he actually has a cayenne pepper farm in the shed outback. He grows the peppers, and then harvests it every single day.
Yuge.
Actually, he showed us his cayenne pepper dispenser in one of his videos. If you ask me kindly -- nay, if you beg me -- I will tell you which one.
Suzanne Baruch plz which one was it plz
Thanks! I've always wanted to make these and never knew it was this simple.
Thank you! The professionals make this look extremely difficult to make "right"! But you're a professional that finally made it look not difficult at all and it still looks right!
Now you don't have to go to the mall, to get a splendid meat filled ball.
Oh yummm. Could you tell me is that a stainless steel table you rolled out the dough on? I really like it.
stillbee It's basically a stainless steel cart that he films on because of lighting.
Reikianolla That's what I thought. It really Cleans up well.
Chef John you never disappoint me, that's the second time I'm thinking about trying a new recipe and out of a sudden you post a video of the one I had in mind.
Souped Up Recipes has a great Char Siu Bao recipe that is truly authentic. This is a good vid, too. Love Chef John!
You should make Dim sum next :)
rolling/pressing the dough out looks like a good job for a tortilla press
Hey, I used to make these all the time in the past. Even I never used self-raising flour they always turned up pretty good. For the filling I used to put some thin beef strips in soya sauce for an hour or so in the fridge then finely chop some white onions, carrots and green onions put them on a skillet and then deglaze it with some fresh orange juice. It's pretty good with chicken too pretty sweet (if the oranges are not as sweet as you need them to be may use
1-2 tablespoons of honey). Then you cook some of them the way you show here and put the rest in the freezer. Then you can instantly use them whenever you want, you just add 5-10 minutes on cooking time on top of the initial one and you are golden. Cheers!
Chef John I made your recipe yesterday.
I like to follow your style of cooking technique
They looked and tasted as I remembered them in years past.
I used a $1.19 package of Premixed Bao flour I had.
I folded them like you did and let them rest a while before steaming.
I had a bit of BBQ pork in the freezer that I had left over from the Song Dynasty.
Then I made the filling with TONS of onions.
Onions flavored with BBQ pork.
I really like pork buns.
I ONLY like pork buns.
I've tried chicken, vegetable, stew, curry, 5 spice beef and the Vietnamese ones with hard boiled egg, ground pork, and who knows what.
I like BBQ pork buns steamed or baked...PERIOD.
I've had BBQ pork buns in 17 different countries and I think the ones in San Francisco are the best of all the Cha Siu Bao I've ever munched.
I spell your "Char" as "Cha" because that how It's pronounced where I was born...the most Northern part of Southern China.
It snows there in winter.
Can you guess where that is?
.
Them look good
I love a shaggy dough ❤
Of course. Shaggy is the only way to dough. Don't listen to him when he says "It wasn't Me"...
rennie rad Row ray Raggy! 🐶
This voice overs are hte best, I am secretly in love with this man. Hahah you always make my da!
True San Fransisco native, that's where I first had them!!! Cheers from Sonoma county!
Look tasty
Omg yum! Also known as "manapua" in Hawaii! 😄
dont they put a crap ton more sesame in manapua tho
@@BlackHilt
Not that I've noticed.
They ARE generally larger than a typical Chinese style bao though.
This is one of the things I've missed most about Seattle! Going to have to give these a try soon. Thanks!
You, sir, are the best food channel on the internet.
Hi everyone! I hope you have a delicious day!
thank you and ditto to you!
I immediately thought about the Incredibles 2 lol
Chef John
I love your videos so much! And I literally learned how to cook from you! Thank you for being so good at what you do and being so entertaining and funny!
Wow beautiful!
the hardest part of making bao is folding/wrapping them
Round the outside, round the outside.
Char Siu Bao looks stunning! 😍😍😍
I love your take on cha siu bao!! theyre a crowd pleaser
Nice buns 👍😀
My good man, the secret to the dough is cornstarch.
Dex The prepackaged bao flour in small bags at the asian markets have corn and/or potato [sweet] starch etc. included. Good tip though.
You did well, Chef! Not many people, even Asians, can do siu bao/siopao. Try making a mixture of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and a bit of brown sugar for the sauce next time. It’ll make a whole lot of difference! And twisting the dough tips in the end will help seal the bao. ❤️
I love pork buns and you made it look so easy. I will be trying this recipe even if I don't know how to cook 👍
Not very authentic. The cha siu in real cha siu bao isn’t mixed with all that garbage. It’s just pure meat and goodness!
Finally
MANAPUA! I live in Hawaii but am currently on the mainland and was just telling people about these who didn’t know.. I must make them for everyone now that I have a recipe!
Chef John you are so funny! Your videos make me smile and feel good. Thanks for always being such a pleasure to watch. Love from FL
Chef, you just made me hungry. Isn`t a chef supposed to do the opposite?
This man talks like he’s both confused and out of breath, bless him
The highs and lows in your tone slays me!
I played the video game Sleeping Dogs, which is 10 years running since its original release, takes place in 2010's Hong Kong, and they have marketplace and street vendor NPCs (non-playable) characters who offer food to the playable game character Wei Shen, who is an undercover cop who infiltrates Triad organization and uses mixed martial arts on his foes and evildoers. and every so often when I enter the marketplace, the one vendor sells char siu bao, steamed pork buns and his favorite phrase is "A man who never eats pork buns is never a whole man!". when I see him, I pay the virtual 25 Hong Kong dollars which is equivalent to about 3 American dollars. there was a female vendor who mentions "char siu bao" instead of calling them steamed pork buns.
