Is it possible to get the bun recipe in standard measurements instead of metric measurement? (for example, 1/4 cup VS 60ml… etc)

I would LOVE to make this. Looks better than the baos at our local Chinese restaurant.

You can go to any big supermarket in Malaysia and should be able to find it. Good luck!

Hi:

I live in India but when I travel abroad – All i eat is Char Siu bao – I’ve loved it ever since I was a child.

Anyway I tried your receipe using all purpose flour. I’m to travel to Malaysia over the weekend and wanted to know if you knew where I could possibly get Hong Kong Flour or if you can help me in understanding what I should be looking out for?
Would China town be the best place? Any particular brand of flour?

Hi!
Wonderful blog! i just tried making the bun…but mine wasn’t as soft as it looks on yer blog…
can you please tell me what’s wrong?
Some other blog said that they can use milk instead of the warm water. Do u think it will work? (i think i have to omit the vinegar or it will curdle)

Thanx a lot!!
