Made this last night. No maltose, I subbed honey, so the glaze wasn’t quite a sticky and glossy as it is in my favorite dim sum place, but the flavors were absolutely spot-on. Please keep the great recipes coming!

In reply to Brenda Jernigan. I wouldn't use thick soy sauce because it would make the dish very sweet. By using it, you will need to change the rest of the ingredients. I don't know the measurement without testing it out.

This recipe looks wonderful and I can’t wait to try it I have Chinese thick soy sauce (it has molasses as the first ingredient). Can I use that in this recipe, and how much should I use? Thank you.

This was a hit for me with my picky family. I did cut the amount of 5-spice powder to 1/2 tsp. My daughter has a sharp nose, so with only 1/2 tsp, she didn’t notice it.

I made this last year around Christmas time with sliced pork loin, so this year I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make this again when I found 2 tenderloins on sale for $10CAD!! Absolutely delicious recipe and I can’t wait to make char siu bao with the bamboo steamer I received for Christmas this year.

They are a bit non-traditional but it sounds so good! I’d love to add those for my char siu pork the next time 🙂
It’s good to know that beet juice works just as well.

Recipe was great. I did add a couple non-traditional ingredients, 1T finely chopped ginger and 1T gochugang for a touch of heat. A splash of beet juice added enough red tint too. Topping my Singapore noodles tonight!
